House Democrats will soon launch a campaign aimed at informing older Americans about the benefits of the health care reform law.
“This week a brochure will be mailed out to 40.2 million seniors outlining the new changes to Medicare under [the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act],” Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said during a press conference Wednesday.
“The purpose of this brochure is for older Americans who have faced misinformation about health care due to political reasons to be informed,” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said.
The brochure features detailed information about what benefits stay the same for seniors, what changes will be seen immediately, and changes that will be seen in the future. It also features important information about coverage for people who have pre-existing conditions and the expansion of health coverage for young people.
“This is only the beginning of an aggressive outreach plan. Our hotline and website will continue to be up and running and hopefully we can set the record straight,” Pelosi said.

Congress, facing resistance from the American public on Obamacare is now sending out propaganda to try to change the sour attitude America has on an illgotten law that raises taxes; reduces medical care; mandates insurance; changes insurance one has and is rejected by a majority of taxpayers.
Obamacare was sold as cutting costs, however, it was passed so fast that congress forgot to figure a 150 billion additional costs which makes Obama's pledge of being less than a trillion dollars a lie.
This law must be repealed and we must remember in November.
