Description"Mischievous goodness from Crossroads GPS, which entered the following submission to HHS' pro-Obamacare propaganda video contest. Something tells me this entry won't win a dime of taxpayer-funded prize money:



"It's fun paying for things you don't even use!"

Bonus points for the serious-sounding voiceover lady dropping a "come on, brah" mid-clip. We've written about why Obamacare is especially bad medicine for young people on numerous occasions. Put simply, the law relies on over-charging younger and healthier Americans to subsidize older and sicker people. If the the former group declines to throw money away and chooses to pay the mandate tax instead, Obamacare's business model collapses. That's why the administration has reached out to celebrities to try to woo young people into taking action that cuts against their clear economic interests. The spot above singles out said celebrities for some richly-deserved mockery. (Sports leagues, like the NFL, have taken a pass on joining the Obamacare promotion brigade). Liberal commentators retort that the young will eventually benefit from Obamacare because young people tend to grow old."
