Will WebMD Destroy its Brand by Promoting Obamacare?

WebMD is an online health information company that I refer to on a regular basis and have always placed a lot confidence in its no nonsense reporting on medical ailments and treatments. That confidence, however, has been shattered beyond repair with this morning's one-sided promotion of the extremely controversial and unpopular Obamacare.

The irony, of course, is that—up until this blatant politicizing—I did trust the WebMD brand. The propaganda video appears to be conceived by OFA or a White House staffer.

 One has to wonder what the payoff is for a move that will undoubtedly infuriate a large portion of WebMD's customer base.
