Remember when we had free speech in this country? It’s slowly been eroding way since BJ Bill Clinton. Now, under King Hussein Obama, it’s nearly gone. Cover Oregon, probably the worst state ObamaCARE exchange is now banning people from criticizing it, with threats of losing grant money.
The state most likely to be named the country’s worst Obamacare exchange is reportedly banning its partners from saying almost anything negative about it in a broad confidentiality agreement.
Radio host Lars Larson and his show’s legal expert Bruce McCain report that in order to contract with Cover Oregon, so-called “community partners” are forced to sign a far-reaching non-disparagement agreement that could put the organizations at risk of losing all their grant money if Oregon state officials decide they disagree with any unfavorable statements about the Obamacare exchange.
The agreement is comparable to the IRS targeting conservative groups, McCain argued, amounting to “the weight and full effect of the government using its power of the purse to coerce private entities. … It’s a chilling effect on speech.”
Larson, suspicious of the sunny attitude of Oregon health care organizations about the state’s flailing exchange, obtained a copy of the “Cover Oregon Community Partner Confidentiality Agreement” and confirmed its authenticity with Cover Oregon officials.
