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.”
Remember the 1st Amendment? Apparently the folks in charge of The Beaver State don't, yet I'll remind then and you Dear reader.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
One reads that paragraph and pauses for a moment to say.. What the hell has happened to this Country.
