Los Angeles Schools Train Students To Promote Obamacare

Komsomol

The Los Angeles Unified School District will use a state grant to train teens to promote ObamaCare to family members. Covered California, the state's health insurance exchange, announced grants of $37 million on May 14 to promote the nationally unpopular law.

LAUSD will receive $990,000. The district listed as a primary outcome for its project, "Teens trained to be messengers to family members."

Covered California spokeswoman Sarah Soto-Taylor said staff have not questioned this goal.  

"We have confidence that the model LA Unified brought to the table will be successful in reaching our target population, which includes family members of students," she said.
