Mind you, this isn’t a pro-Obamacare ad, it’s an anti-Obamacare ad which obviously seeks to educate college students about the downsides of the Affordable Care Act.

Chris Moody of Yahoo News is clearly on the side of the Obama administration but he makes a valid point about the scary tone of the ad which, I think, is the whole point.

Creepy Obamacare ad hits college campuses and your nightmares

There will be girls. There will be beer. There will be cornhole. And someone will be dressed in the creepiest Uncle Sam costume you’ve ever seen.

Welcome to the strange new front in the war over Obamacare.

As the Republican dream of repealing President Barack Obama’s health care law in Congress crumbles, the fight over the law’s future shifts from Washington to college campuses, where the new challenge for Obamacare proponents lies in convincing young people to sign up for coverage mandated by the law.

The period to enroll in health insurance exchanges established under the 2010 law begins Oct. 1, which will mark the start of a race to urge Americans to participate. The health exchanges rely heavily on young, healthy Americans who will subsidize the sick and elderly within the pools. Without the healthy, the exchanges could be unsustainable. The Obama administration is devoting millions of public dollars to promote the exchanges, but many conservative groups are actively working to convince people not to join.

That’s where Creepy Uncle Sam comes in.

Here’s the video.
