Open Email to Congress:
Dear Representatives and Senators,
The Washington Times says Web M.D., a private Internet public advisory service on medicine, was awarded a $4.8 million contract by the Obama administration to promote Obamacare. Both Web M.D. and the Obama Administration apparently tried to keep the deal secret. Web M.D. said it had no obligation to reveal publicly this information.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (IA) says that details of contracts between the federal government and private industry should be made public. I agree. Since taxpayer funds are involved, I believe taxpayers should have the opportunity to see how their money is being spent. The only possible exception would be contracts involving military security of the US, which might involve details helpful to a possible enemy.
