Hey, guess what is coming soon to one of your favorite TV shows? People who know better than you do, are going to sneak pro-ObamaCare messaging into TV plot lines because as one Hollywood bigwig put it - "people learn from TV."

Thanks to a $500,000 grant from The California Endowment, the Hollywood Health & Society, associated with the USC Annenberg Norman Lear Center, will "help TV writers tell better stories about the new health insurance law."

Try to contain your excitement.
