Baltimore Ravens To Promote Obamacare

[charlie and algernon]

The reigning Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens will promote Maryland’s health care exchange, according to documents obtained by Judicial Watch. The Ravens are the first professional sports team to promote Obamacare.

The documents show Maryland Health Exchange finalized a deal with the Ravens on Sept. 9 that gives the team $130,000 in exchange for promotion of the state’s health care marketplace through television, radio, and the team’s website and social media accounts.

The agreement allows the Maryland Health Exchange to use the Ravens logo but not individual players’ likeness, names, or photographs, or the NFL logo. It also says the Ravens’ website will feature the Maryland Health Exchange logo and ads. Additionally, the agreement states the @RavensPromos Twitter account will tweet five tweets about the health care exchange.

The Obama administration has noted that for the Affordable Care Act to be successful, healthy, young, uninsured males must sign up for health care. Colorado’s health exchange recently launched a campaign targeting the demographic that featured kegs and bros.

2. Remember, also, Raven player Brendon Ayanbadejo helped O'Malley sell the Gay Marriage bill

Ravens' Brendon Ayanbadejo thrilled gay marriage approved in Maryland

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Baltimore Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo was delighted to learn that the majority of Maryland voters shared his opinion on same sex marriage.

"I'm so stoked. It's like I woke up and it's Christmas," Ayanbadejo said Wednesday, one day after gay marriage in the state was approved at the ballot box by a narrow margin.

4. That was a great game!

And this report doesn't surprise me a bit. A lot of notable NFL players are very pro-union (and by extension, pro health coverage), among them QB Joe Flacco.

6. I'm secure enough with myself to admit that Joe Flacco is my newest man crush.

Seriously, I've found myself watching his Mile High Miracle pass over and over and over on Youtube.

And yes, that was an awesome game. So evenly matched a duel between Flacco and Manning. It was tied for 5 quarters in a row until the Ravens won it in 2OT.

Now, if only we could give Joe a better O-Line so we could really see him air them out.

3. If one of our players were to assault you in a bar, you're now covered!

you won't be denied coverage or care, and soon you'll be back on your feet rooting for the same overpaid thugs who have too much HGH coursing through their veins.
