Medicare and the New Health Law is the title of a glossy full color bulletin written by Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health & Human Services. The leaflet is currently in the mail to a broad list of recipients across the nation. It is an expensive mailing, no doubt. It is little more than a propaganda piece that reads like an Obama speech with all of the same talking points.
Within the bulletin’s four pages Sebelius manages to cast aspersions on the insurance industry 5 times. For instance, in the opening paragraph we read:
It will also ensure accountability throughout the health care system so that you, your family, and your doctor – not insurance companies – have greater control over your care. (emphasis is in the original).
The same arguments we heard from Obama when he was campaigning for passage of the bill are repeated in the bulletin: reduction of fraud, better quality care for more people at less cost, and new services to assure people “will no longer be forced into poverty”.
There is need for a letter to explain the provisions of the new law but this is not it.

RANDOM THOTS 
What a white-wash! Kathleen felt the need to try to counter all the negative press resulting from the CBO estimates that show the cost will be substantially greater than the sneaky administration and congress professed it would be. This is just another move toward socialized medicine and health care…and look how great those programs are in Canada or the UK. I would again ask the question going around……have we had enough yet? Maybe November will answer that question.
