Well it's as close as you can come to free advertising for the Obamacare train-wreck as you can get - a feature by "guest writer" to the Detroit Free Press - none other than the US Secretary of Health and Human services herself - Kathleen Sebelius.
The Detroit Free Press: Kathleen Sebelius: Time running out to enroll in Affordable Care Act
To call it a rah-rah puff piece would be an insult to rah-rah puff pieces.
Maybe the Freep got a waiver from Obamacare in return for running this piece of dreck.
Hard to claim the mantle of media objectivity when you run administration propaganda as a feature from a guest writer.

A. Kathleen says, "But if you don’t enroll by March 31, you won’t get this security that comes with a Marketplace plan — and you can’t enroll again until this fall."
Isn't this subject to extension?
B. Within the past 12 months, I was a "guest writer" of a piece in another well-circulated publication, and received an honorarium for it, which was duly reflected on my 2013 tax return I recently filed. Was Kathleen paid an honorarium by the Freep? If so, does she intend to report it on her tax return?
C. Opposite situation, perhaps? Has HHS paid valuable consideration to the Freep to carry the advertorial?
Just wondering.
