Obamacare Pitch Of The Day: Baltimore Ravens Paid $130k To Promote "Affordable Care"
In a “Sponsorship Agreement” between the Maryland Health Connection and the Ravens, Judicial Watch reports that the state (read taxpayers) will pay the Super Bowl champs $130,000 to push Obamacare on television, radio, the team’s official website, its newsletter and in social media. If Obamacare is the great thing that we are constantly reassured it to be, why are we seeing the administration feeling the need to constantly market, pitch, and sell the idea by any means possible (from keg standing college students to Superbowl shuffles)?
Of course, they may be on to something with this one...

The professional football team that won this year’s Super Bowl is getting $130,000 from American taxpayers to promote Obamacare, according to documents obtained by Judicial Watch this week.
The deal was secured on September 9 between the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League (NFL) and Maryland health officials. The White House has tried recruiting professional sports leagues—especially the NFL and the National Basketball Association (NBA)—to help promote the president’s healthcare law but they have declined.
In fact, the NFL confirmed months ago that it would not participate in the Obamacare public relations campaign, offering the media this written statement: “We have responded to the letters we received from members of Congress to inform them we currently have no plans to engage in this area and have had no substantive contact with the administration about [the health-care law’s] implementation.” Washington D.C.’s mainstream newspaper called it a “blow to the administration.”
But Maryland officials evidently appealed directly to the home team, announcing in early September that the Ravens would help market the state’s Obamacare exchange known as Maryland Health Connection. Both parties refused to offer specifics when the deal was initiated and Judicial Watch filed a Maryland Public Information Act request for details.
In a “Sponsorship Agreement” between the Maryland Health Connection and the Ravens, the state will pay the Super Bowl champs $130,000 to push Obamacare on television, radio, the team’s official website, its newsletter and in social media. This includes the Ravens Report Show on cable TV and a number of pre and post-game radio segments as well as Facebook and Twitter plugs.

Hell of a lot better than Brosurance. First good thing I have yet to see about Obamacare.
are boob jobs covered by O'care?
yes...if ur a guy and want them....
Is she covered if she does the splits?
Or if she has an on-the-job accident, and has a wardrobe malfunction? Is she covered?
I'd like to know how much the Raven's rival Steeler's (and former Obama appointed Ambassador to Ireland) Dan Rooney was paid to host Kathleen Syphilus at an O-care promotional event at Heinz Field.

Didn't like 200 people show up in a stadium which holds 60k?.
Another ACA boondoggle.
Yea, and I think like 12-17 actually signed up, and they were elderly. No young 20-Somethings were seen there. I'm sure they'll sign-up busloads of homeless street-urchins to show that "Young People" are enrolling in droves.
Nothing surprises me any more. Anything goes, the system's completely compromised and taken over by parasitic criminals who no longer even need to pretend to follow rules.
Whoa... take it easy there Hux. Ain't no big thing. I'll just go over there, kiss his ring (again) and Abbra Cadabra .. I'll reach out and grab ya.

It's pretty sad that they have guys who probably won't live long enough to get cancer, or if they do, will shoot themselves from complications of multiple concussions, wear pink for old women.
Quit watching the NFL all together.

Pay attention to the message. "Become the world's most powerful fan." What, I'm powerful because, not only can I sit on my ass and drink beer with a few friends while whooping and hollering, but I can pick which game to watch while doing it? Seriously? This is bread and circuses very skillfully done. People are being convinced that they matter because they can watch the circus and they're being convinced that they're important because they can choose which circus they watch.
The NY Giants wanted to sign a similar agreement, but the Obama administration declined as they are only interested in professional football teams at this time.
So far it only seems to be 1/2 of the AFC North.
fuck em
Shameful. First real mistake I've seen Biscotti make since he took over the Ravens.
This has O'malley's fingerprints all over it. State officals pushed hard for this crap.
Not sure about you, but I'm getting fed up with the NFL under Goodell. He's turning the game into a lingerie league. Only two games worth watching every year. Ravens at the Steelers and Steelers at the Ravens.
I still think the Ravens will win the division as the Bengals will bumble down the stretch.
Thay cant win without their murdering middle linebacker. They just lost to the miserable Steelers.
Oddly enough Biscotti Is a mostly Republican donor.
so is Rooney. Pulls the curtain back on the faux Red/Blue team BS. All these owners look to socialize the risk and privitize the gains.
Do those players know obamacare probably won't cover sports injuries?
Art Modell must be rolling in his grave. He would have told the pinkos to fuck off. Steve, watch your ticket sales plunder. Don't get all feminine on TV by pulling out a pink handkerchief. BTW, I hate sports. You haven’t lost a viewer, because I have never been one.
Geopolitical, Stock market moves is my sport. Get this, in our sport..you make money rather than spend it on mindless entertainment. :>)
In the modern market you don't 'make' anything, you just collect some of the proceeds of theft from future generations.
I also, do not watch sport as it is bald propaganda delivery but you need to be careful about tossing rocks.
I just want to thank Tyler for including the larger photo. I had my finger crossed when I clicked.

Yale grad I see....fine school.
The NFL should sue.
Let them promote with NO TEAM or NFL logo.
Seems like a home run to me.

It's a home run, all right. Not for *you*, but a homerun, nonetheless.
I don't care how much ass they rub in my face or some ape on the front line selling me something. I will not act against my own financial self-interest until the government backs me into a corner and forces it on me. I realize this is not far off.
Just buy it, and nobody gets hurt.

WTF? I dont see the government bending over backward to promote the merits of income tax, capital gains tax, death tax, etc. When will we see ads for those?

Just another reason to hate the Ravens.

I guess the Mullet blocked your vision.
Kiss of Death to my Steelers ever since Rooney campaigned for this jackel.
I stopped watching the NFL about two years ago. Tired of the Play (with yourself) 60 stuff and Wookie Obama's face on every NFL commercial.
I grew tired of the commercials every 5 minutes.
If you need a FB fix, go support your local high school team.
At least, they aren't puppets for Vegas and the govt.
it's the concussions thing
Another reason to root against Baltimore and to never watch another Baltimore game on the tube. Boycott!!!!
Kiss of death to the Ravens. No wonder my Steelers beat the Ravens this past weekend. LOL
And the Pack whooped dey ass before that. It's quite a season so far.
I don't watch football anyways. I did not even know Maryland had a football team.
If BarryCare is so fucking great why on earth would they need the Ravens to promote it? Fail.
I would do that broad though and would hope she would keep the boots on.

We’re sorry that we used some money from the debt ceiling expansion. It will be restored back to the cashbox next Tuesday.
how fitting, the Ravens go from the Champs last year to struggling this year, just like Uncle Sam's decline from past "glory"
Not a bad idea, in fact, the NFL should get behind it as they could point out that you never know when you'll be shot, raped, beaten so badly by one of the thugs in the NFL you will need good health insurance.
Regardless of how this deal is promoted, the masses are NOT going to sign up. Based on the random sample of people I work with, who are making $12 - $14 per hour and struggling to buy gas to get to work, pay for food, etc, the thought of running out to sign up for healthcare is just out of the question. The deadline will come and go and tens of millions will not have signed up. We should be pushing the govt for stats on how many people sign up, it's got to be far far less than what is hoped for.
Which means the premiums for the rest must neccessarily skyrocket...

even the MSM is no longer willing to cover for this cluster...
CBS News) CBS News has uncovered a serious pricing problem with HealthCare.gov. It stems from the Obama administration's efforts to improve its health care website. A new online feature can dramatically underestimate the cost of insurance.
The administration announced it would provide a new "shop and browse" feature Sunday, but it's not giving consumers the real picture. In some cases, people could end up paying double of what they see on the website, CBS News' Jan Crawford reported Wednesday on "CBS This Morning."
the Raven's front office may want to re-think attaching their name to this mess.
Does the ACA cover 'roid rage and shrinking penises?
If so, no wonder these morons endore it.

Ray Lewis is good at keeping doctors busy.

Obamacare is cheerleader. What? What were we talking about. Cheerleader?
Well, they sure as hell weren't gonna give it to the Redskins.
They should change their name to the Washington Foreskins.

At $250 per month for a healthy 20 year old on the cheapest plan they're going to expect that girl at their beck and call at least once a month, and in uniform.
If not...that money is going to pot, beer, and gas.
No kidding. When I was 20, I had a 'catastophic' care plan with a $2k deductible from Blue Shield for abour $20/month.
And my friends thought *that* was nuts.

<-- She HAS Coverage under that Wrap, but it's barely adequate for her pre-existing condition.
<-- She does NOT have Coverage under that Wrap, and she's screwed. Or will be.
just more obama whores...I'm sure he has a "thing" for the football players and NOT the hot cheerleaders though.
I'd buy that for a dollar !
Prediction: Some sucker with cash will marry her, pop a couple of kids out of her and then she will turn into a bitch.
It's a good thing that Obamacare includes mandatory maternity benefits.
You gotta love where that Raven's pecker is located, LOL.
If you download the spreadsheet of rates from infowars.com, note that they are setting premiums based upon County.
In other words, they are targeting assets because there are buckets of data on where the money is by County.
Poor counties = low rates.
Rich counties = astromonical rates.
The ACA is an asset confiscation scheme written by Insurance Co.'s, Big Pharma, and Corporate Hospitals.
Bend over America!
