U.S. President Barack Obama’s new socialized medicine law has been a hard sell with the American public … which is why its proponents are turning to three beer guzzling “bros for life” to help them boost enrollment.

Rob, Zach and Sam – three “bros” who enjoy doing keg stands, playing golf and mooching off of their parents – are the focus of several new pro-Obamacare ads aimed at luring young enrollees into the program’s health insurance exchanges.

The ads – modeled after the thoroughly hackneyed “Got Milk?” campaign – asks viewers whether they “Got Insurance?”

“Keg stands are crazy,” one of the ads notes. “Not having health insurance is crazier. Don’t tap into your beer money to cover those medical bills. We got it covered.”

Another ad features Zach and Sam on the golf course.

“Yo Mom, do I got insurance?” Zach asks.

Apparently the answer was “yes.”

“My girlfriend broke my heart so me and the bros went golfing,” he continues. “Then my buddy broke my head. Good thing mom made sure I got insurance.”

All of the ads in the series feature a “Thanks, Obamacare!” tag line.

Take a look …

Wow … is this really what’s become of this country? Is America really down to taxpayer-funded propaganda targeting a bunch of dim-witted slackers in the hopes of getting them to subsidize a massive new entitlement scheme?

Because that’s the reality: Obamacare’s massive entitlement expansion won’t work unless millions of young (a.k.a. healthy) people are duped into signing up for its exchanges.

We say “duped” because according to a recent study by the National Center for Public Policy Research 6.7 million Americans between the ages of 18-35 will be between $500-$1,000 better off if they simply pay Obamacare’s “individual mandate” fee.

The propaganda effort to make twenty somethings feel better about being bums well into adulthood must continue as the policies of Uncle Sam have helped to eliminate opportunities for many of them.

Looks like it is paid for by two Colorado groups of some kind, never heard of ’em. Seems dumb, but whatever, let these groups do whatever they feel like.

Saving $500-$1,000 is great, except for when an unexpected emergency room trip bankrupts you. Even though the audience cheered at the thought of letting uninsured people die, Ron Paul made it pretty clear during one of the debates last election that going without insurance is pretty damn stupid if you are actually lucky enough to have a choice in the matter. But hey, go ahead and print out your fictitious Obamacare card and burn it for a free koozie if you want.

Americans between the ages of 18-26 have the ability to be covered under their parents’ insurance, too, so there’s that as well. I take it you won’t cover your kids while they are going to college or doing whatever they decide to do after they turn 18, right? Got to teach them to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, eh?

The only thing sadder than the desperation to oppose health care reform no matter the cost, is the willful and deliberate coaxing of people to do something that could very well fuck them over at any given notice just to score a political point. Let’s forget that uninsured people quite often meet one of three fates when something goes wrong: getting coverage on Medicaid (we pay for it), going bankrupt from medical debt and the cost gets spread onto others (we pay for it), or the person is refused treatment in some cases and suffers and/or dies for it.

But hey, they saved $500, so who cares? #YOLO #SWAG

Thank you Smirks!!! How, many parents can stand by and watch a child suffer or potentially die, because they do not have the money to pay for doctors and hospitals. Regardless of how irresponsible their children are, Parents will bankrupt themselves to make sure that does not happen.
Advising young adults to forgo insurance to save a few hundred dollars is beyond negligent, it is a disgusting tactic. Tactics like this is why decent people are turning away from Republicans and those who pay their bills.
Unfortunately young adults are frequently not engaged enough to understand that the people who advise them to forgo insurance are the same people who would turn their backs and walk away when they are dying in a hospital bed and are also the same people who will foreclose on their parent’s house when they can’t afford the second or third mortgage they took out to pay their child’s medical bills.

You and Big T should hook up.

You could start a website together and present the opposite ends of the spectrum.

If successful it could result in two less people on the dole.

You and Big T should hook up. You guys could start a website and present opposite ends of the spectrum in a tit for tat, or in this cases tit for tit. If successful there’d be two less people on the dole too.

Please, would someone show a little grace to this distinctly unoriginal fool and give him a mercy thumbs up. Judging by his moniker I think he mistook Fitsnews for a porn site and was bashing the candle as he composed his nana-nana boo-boo retort.

No, but I just gave you a thumbs up so you won’t feel so lonely and all alone.
