The Americans for Prosperity Foundation launched a multi-million dollar TV, radio and grassroots campaign today against a larger role for government in health care. The centerpiece of the campaign is a television ad (see here) featuring Shona Holmes, a Canadian brain tumor survivor. "If I'd relied on my government, I'd be dead," says Holmes in the ad. She sought treatment in the United States after being told by her government that she would have to wait six months to see a specialist.
APFP is a conservative organization that advocates for limited government and free markets. Carrie Dann at Congress Daily reports that the group has spent $2 million on the media buy for this campaign. Read her story on the health care reform battle.
