Obamacare ads in Colorado stir up controversy

[JayQueer]

So some group in Colorado came up with pro-Obamacare ads and created the website "doyougotinsurance.com". They have been stirring up controversy in the right wing blogs.

Yep! Why are you posting this in this forum,when all it is again is your obsession with "hot white guys",try the Fetish one. FFS.

This thread has no relevance to current events and politics. There's nothing to comment on for these sarcastic images that do not portray a real message.

[Jack Springer]

These ads representing how Obamacare is using the lowest form of advertising to promote itself --- truly a current event.

However, I guess you could start a new thread about Boehner's skin color -- which I'm sure you think is one of the hottest real political and current event topics in CEP.

Talk about the subject -- not the original poster.

States have the right to make any kind of advertisement they want---you know--states right's!, that's how the bill was formulated---in NY--where we are civilized and run by progressive thinkers--and the affordable care law is on it's way to success because of the government cooperation with the law of the land---our ads are more traditional but effective.

got insurance?

Got Insurance is a project of the Thanks Obamacare campaign, created by the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative and ProgressNow Colorado Education to educate everyone about the benefits of the Affordable Care Act.

Colorado Consumer Health Initiative

CCHI is a statewide, non-partisan, non-profit coalition of organizational and individual members, representing well over 500,000 Coloradans. CCHI acts as a representative of the policy and advocacy priorities of our members at the legislature and in the community to influence and shape effective health care policy on behalf of consumers.

ProgressNow Colorado Education

ProgressNow Colorado Education (formerly ProgressNow.org) is a first-of-its kind organization. Our mission is to provide a strong, credible voice in advancing progressive solutions to critical community problems. But we don't do that on our own – we work as a communications team for the entire progressive community.

[doyougotinsurance.com] has been stirring up controversy in the right wing blogs.

What is the basis of that controversy? Why is it of interest for discussion?

The Keg Stand Obamacare Ads (FactCheck.org; November 14, 2013)

[Jack Springer]

Colorado has spent over $25 million to '********' only 6,000 ACA customers.

We still don't know the definition of '********'.

... What is the basis of that controversy? Why is it of interest for discussion? ...

Good question.

Move to Fetish or Philosophy.

[Jack Springer]

An example ... one of the ads promotes promiscuous sex by saying now you have Obamacare and free birth control so you can have all the sex you want with whoever you want. Nothing in the ad promotes safe sex -- just birth control.

Susie and Nate are 'Hot to Trot'

What kind of message does that send to teenagers and young Americans?

Neither Colorado or the USA are in the position to promote casual sex.

Well Americans are procrastinators.

Ever been to the post office on April 15?

That ad appears in the opening post of this thread.

Do you think it really promotes promiscuous sex or does it maybe remind young residents that the availability of birth control through Obamacare helps prevent unintended pregnancies?

According to a Colorado.gov FactSheet, nearly half of all pregnancies in Colorado are unintended.

Do you think the asterisk corresponding to a statement at the bottom of the ad fails to properly emphasize that “the pill” is not a substitute for condoms and common sense?

Colorado has spent over $25 million to '********' only 6,000 ACA customers.

(From the linked article)

Colorado has an estimated 350,000 people who are uninsured.

$25,000,000 ÷ 350,000 = $71

What portion of the $25 million Colorado has spent promoting Obamacare went to fund the ads featured in the initial posts of this thread and that reportedly “have been stirring up controversy in the right wing blogs?”

Responsible citizenship is rare. Kudos.

[Kulindahr]

I can't tell if the ads are pro- or anti- -- some seem sarcastic in a way that would make people think it's a bad idea.

The ad is selling sex without consequences. I'll get out my magnifying glass to find the asterisk.

A business would be interested in results, not necessarily how many are in the market. $71 per individual is pretty high for any ad campaign -- when the ads are primarily targeted for a young market what enjoys having fun and sex and forgets all the others.

Again, I ask - why do you have a problem with that? What's wrong with sex without consequences?

[Kulindahr]

Good question -- and more evidence that today's right wing doesn't believe in liberty. Liberty rests on the fact of self-ownership, and no matter how much they protest, today's GOP has no more approval of self-ownership than do the Democrats.

[Jack Springer]

Sex without consequences make a person a slut, non-caring, grows low self-esteem, and is a trademark of bad character. Plus, it's very risky physically.

Hahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha


Rrrrrrright. Keep hugging that bible and the key to the chastity belt. Meanwhile, the rest of us, living in the 21st century, see this puritan bullshit for what it is - an outdated remnant of a morally bankrupt oppressive culture that turns appreciation of physical pleasures into shame.

[Kulindahr]

Sex without consequences make a person a slut, non-caring, grows low self-esteem, and is a trademark of bad character. Plus, it's very risky physically.

Two of those are entirely subjective, and thus invalid. Of the three assertions that can be argued objectively, only one is certain.

So we're left with arguing the merits of the claims of making "a person... non-caring" and "grows low self esteem".

[Rolyo85]

Please. This judgmental pile of rubbish of a post isn't even worth discussing seriously.

[Kulindahr]

Please. This judgmental pile of rubbish of a post isn't even worth discussing seriously.

Well, those two items are. I knew more than a few promiscuous people in college, and by my experience it didn't contribute to either low self-esteem or not caring for most of them.

I have to wonder if anyone's done a study on it.

What an ugly thing to say... How very right-wing of you. "Gays are promiscuous and die of AIDS very early". You should speak in a church, you'll fit right in.

It always amuses me how right wing prudes' heads explode when exposed to a sexually liberated person that has promiscuous safe sex. It just really doesn't compute for them.

Look at this and what I said. Stop and actually think for once.

Now --


it should be very clear why some wonder if you have common sense and/or any actual awareness of the world.

Your question was not directed at me. God, you can't even distinguish users from each other now? Wtf, Springer?
