Kathleen Sebelius Pushes Obamacare at Montclair State University
I wonder if anyone in the audience has heard that graduate students at some schools are having their work hours cut under Obamacare.

Sebelius to stump for Obamacare at Montclair State University today
With one more week for Americans to enroll in private health care or face a tax penalty, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius will be at Montclair State University this morning to tout the law’s benefits.
She will appear at a mid-morning press conference with Sen Nia Gil (D-34) and university president Susan A. Cole.
“The University is pleased to support Sen. Gill’s efforts to get information out to the public about the importance of having healthcare coverage and how to enroll in an appropriate plan,” said Cole.
Obamacare officials are hoping there is a last-minute surge of enrollments – particularly among young people – before the March 31 deadline. Without younger, healthier participants in any insurance plan’s “risk pool,” it will eventually have to raise premiums to cover its older, sicker customers.
HHS has targeted northern New Jersey as a place with a high percentage of people who could benefit from the ACA, prompting this second visit from Sebelius in the last month.
