TIME TO STOP THIS GIGANTIC TRAIN WRECK FROM EVER SEEING THE LIGHT OF DAY
Conservative groups are ramping up a campaign against Obamacare as the administration mounts a vigorous public outreach effort to bolster support for the law.
The Obama administration is spending hundreds of millions of dollars in a marketing campaign to educate people about the law and encourage eligible people to sign up for insurance, a campaign run directly out of the White House by top Obama aides using election-style targeting tactics. The White House is even appealing to Hollywood stars to help push the law.
Conservative groups are mounting their own counter-campaign on multiple fronts, appealing to the grassroots while also lobbying the legislative branch to cut funding for the health care overhaul officially known as the Affordable Care Act.
The campaigns come as President Barack Obama’s approval rating has fallen to its lowest level since 2011 and only 34 percent of Americans believe Obamacare to be good policy, according to a poll released Wednesday.
“I don’t think there’s an issue that has galvanized the conservative movement like this since cut, cap, and balance,” said Andy Roth, vice president for government affairs at the Club for Growth, in reference to the Republican proposal for the budget during the 2011 debt ceiling debate.
