The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is promoting
Obamacare through its $1.5 million television studio, which is currently
being upgraded for a more “cinematic look.”
The agency has five broadcast studios, known as “HHS-TV,” that are
tasked with communicating with the public in times of emergency, such as
a pandemic. HHS-TV is also used for public service announcements and
press conferences.
However, the studio’s operations in recent months have been almost exclusively devoted to promoting Obamacare.
HHS-TV released a video
of Secretary Kathleen Sebelius hyping the opening of the health
insurance exchanges as “exciting news” on the first day of enrollment on
Oct. 1.
“If you’re uninsured, if you thought that good health insurance would
never be within your reach, help is on the way,” she said. The studio
also provided b-roll for media outlets of the Obamacare Marketplace on its first day.
Another HHS-TV video
on Aug. 26 said Obamacare is “great news” for young people. Sebelius
attempted to convince young Americans that they should purchase health
care.
