Patients United Now Runs Nationwide Ad Calling Health Reform Proposals Deadly, Comparing Them To Canadian Single Payer System

If you haven't seen this ad already, you probably will soon.

Patients United Now is an offshoot of the well-funded conservative group Americans for Prosperity. The ad's been around since Patients United was created on May 27, but it hasn't gone national until today as the health care debate on Capitol Hill hits a fever pitch.

The ad, which previously ran in eight states, will be on the air for the next week.

As you can see it suggests that Congress wants to impose a Canadian style health care system on the United States. And though the Canadian health care system outperforms the American system on many levels, they also have a single payer system, and the reform bills making their way through Congress are not single payer proposals.

First NOM and now PUN. When will the madness stop?

I could make that same ad with an American who would have died, (or did die), due to stalling on approvals for treatment from their insurance company. Anybody out there into video production?

No, see you couldn't make "the same ad" with that data because your ad would be based on truth whereas this one is just out and out lies.
