When asked in a random survey, multiple George Washington University (GWU) students told Campus Reform they did not care for Kathleen Sebelius' use of MLK Day to promote "Obamacare."

The students said the connection between Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the Affordable Care Act was unnecessary and even carries racial undertones. They thought public service and remembrance were better ways to spend the day instead of signing up for the President's new healthcare system.

"Today, we honor the remarkable life of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his legacy of fighting for racial equality, human rights and economic justice," Health and Human Services Secretary Sebelius wrote in a press release Friday. "Because of the Affordable Care Act, it's a new day in health care that is bringing new security and opening new doors of opportunity. Across the nation, millions of Americans are signing up for quality, affordable health insurance through the new Health Insurance Marketplace."

Campus Reform randomly stopped multiple students on GWU's Washington D.C. campus and asked if they had signed up for Obamacare. They were unable to find someone who did, granted many were covered by their parents' insurance.

Still, the students mostly expressed they did not care for Sebelius' association between the holiday and Affordable Care Act.

"I think there might be a little racial undertone to that possibly," one student said, "maybe a little socioeconomic-stereotype."

"I find it a little self-serving really, she shouldn't be using a holiday regarding service to promote her own ideologies," said another.

According to data from Sebeliu's office, release four days earlier, 55 percent of the Americans who signed up for Obamacare in its first three months were aged 45 to 64. Comparatively, 24 percent of those who signed up were between the ages of 18 and 34.
