Americans United for Change, a progressive advocacy group lobbying for health care reform put this ad together portraying insurance companies as the real life “death panels,” not the government under the proposed plans making their way through congress.
This is a 30 second ad, so it’s clearly meant for broadcast (not just for YouTube as so many plus-length olitical ads are these days), but as is always the key with these things, I’d like to know where it will be airing and how frequently…
Thanks for posting this. It’s a truly powerful ad. Hope Obama can win the public option.
According to the WHO, the health of the American population ranked 73rd in the world, just ahead of poor Nicaragua. The American health care system needs some changes.
