James O'Keefe and Project Veritas recently released an undercover video seeking to expose Obamacare 'navigators' for corruption. The video provides evidence of workers encouraging clients to lie on government forms, committing fraud, and finding ways to skirt other legal requirements. One of those groups organizing these navigators, Enroll America, is readily exposed as an arm of a Democratic political action committee (PAC).
Perhaps even worse in a big scheme scenario, Enroll America was also involved in a case of media corruption, participating in a training session less than ten months ago, advising business journalists from prominent news organizations on how to target their messages to convey positive news about Obamacare.
We recently highlighted a symposium hosted by the Society of American Business Editors and Writers (SABEW), and funded by the Commonwealth Fund, an organization currently led by David Blumenthal, former senior health adviser to the Obama campaign. The event paired-up a self-described progressive organization with over a dozen reporters to provide "specialized education in health care reporting."
ZitatKlein explains to her audience that "a key challenge" in messaging lies in "informing consumers of how the ACA (Affordable Care Act) will benefit them." She also states that, "The majority of uninsured Americans don’t know the health reform law will help them."
