ObamaCare is coming to a theater near you.
The president’s push for Hollywood to back his health-care agenda is coming to New York City next month when an administration official will meet with an entertainment group known for spreading the ObamaCare gospel.
The Feb. 18 event, billed as “The Affordable Care Act: Comedy, Drama & Reality — Portraying ObamaCare in TV & Film,” is being run by the Hollywood, Health & Society group, which received a private $500,000 grant to “ensure that industry practitioners have up-to-date, relevant facts on health-care reform to integrate into their storylines,” according to a spokesman for the group.
But critics say it’s really just a propaganda machine for a president who has the overwhelming support of Hollywood’s elites.
The group is known for planting a story line about chlamydia into an episode of “House.”
The event will be held at the downtown headquarters of the Writers Guild of America East headquarters and will include a panel discussion by the official, Julie Green Bataille of the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid; Trudy Lieberman, a Columbia Journalism Review editor; and Liz Flahive, a writer for Showtime’s “Nurse Jackie.”
