It's how modern PR/Marketing works: appeal to their feels, because the majority can't be bothered (or lack the skills) to ascertain the facts and base their decisions on them.

And while it's utterly tangential to the topic at hand, I have no problem with most of what was in those memoranda from the president. I've a bit of concern over the healthcare worker reporting change (the last thing mentally ill people in this country need is another disincentive to seek care), I think eventhat one can be made to work and might help. Everything else makes perfect sense to me.
