well was it not a couple of weeks ago the NFL was threatened if it supported ObamaCares by McConnell and the republicans, well one team shows it's bona fides as the Superbowl champs and bucking the right wing mob, kudos to them for doing it the American way.
The Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens will help Maryland promote new insurance options under ObamaCare, state officials announced Tuesday.It's the first official partnership formed with a sports franchise to encourage participation in President Obama's signature healthcare law.The White House had sought national partnerships on ObamaCare with the NBA and the NFL, but both leagues backed away under pressure from congressional Republicans.Supporters of the reform law have sought partnerships with sports organizations because they attract an audience that is critical to the law's success: young men.
will the right wing break some arms and legs or sit back and pout.
Massachusetts famously partnered with the Boston Red Sox in 2006 to promote its healthcare reform law, which was the model for the Affordable Care Act.Maryland's Health Department said 71 percent of uninsured people in the state watched, attended or listened to a Ravens game in the past year."The partnership will provide Maryland Health Connection with the opportunity to reach and engage fans while making them aware of the new opportunity they have for health coverage beginning this fall through the health insurance marketplace," the state's department said in a statement.
i really hope other states will follow suit and do the right thing for it's people, red states included if you make enough noise you can move the avalanche of compliance and save the best health care program yet.
it's your call right wing die on the gurney or Progressive ACA for all.
