Ad warns: "Health care choices
crushed, 119 million off their coverage - leaving no choices, and government
control of your health care"
Conservatives for Patients' Rights will launch a new ad beginning Thursday morning, entitled "Bulldozer, " which uses a bulldozer as a metaphor to illustrate what a government-run public insurance plan would do to existing family health care coverage that some 70% of insured Americans say is either "good" or "excellent."
"It's no secret that the goal of government-run insurance is to slowly erode existing private insurance plans to the point where the so-called government option is the only option," said Rick Scott, chairman of Conservatives for Patients' Rights. "And one plan is not an option at all, it's a government monopoly on health care."
The ad begins airing nationally on CNN and Fox News as part of
CPR's new $1.2 million campaign focused on educating voters on the perils
of a government run health insurance plan.
"It is very clear, given the evidence and their own, well documented statements, that they plan to systematically dismantle the existing health care system in the United States and replace it with a government-run program. And they want to start by making the federal government a player in the insurance business." Scott said.
Conservatives for Patients' Rights maintains that any health care reform efforts must focus on letting the free market work to keep costs low - and that there is no way any government-run insurance plan can achieve that goal.
