JUDICIAL WATCH: Catholic Healthcare Providers Promote Obamacare, Get HHS Grants.

Judicial Watch has obtained records from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that show ardent support for Obamacare in propaganda produced by the Catholic Health Association followed by HHS “navigator grants” to affiliated groups—Via Christi Health System and Ascension Health—promoting the president’s disastrous healthcare law. . . .

In the 2009 letter Conlin says Via Christi is an affiliate of Ascension and he mentions an enclosed interactive CD and pamphlet promoting Obamacare. The CD was not provided to JW as part of the records request but the pamphlet (“Realizing Our Vision for U.S. Health Care) was. Put together by the Catholic Health Association of the United States, it’s essentially a propaganda piece for Obamacare, extolling its supposed virtues. . . .

We also know that both Via Christi and Ascension have benefitted for endorsing the president’s hostile takeover of the nation’s healthcare system. The Catholic healthcare affiliates received HHS grants worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to enroll people in Obamacare. One of the grants was for $232,406 and the other for $165,683, according to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
