MoveOn Casts Actress As 'The Public Option'
To portray a government-run health insurance option as an attractive alternative to private insurance companies, MoveOn.org has cast an attractive actress in a new ad as part of the liberal group's push for inclusion of the public option in health care legislation.
A new television ad features actress Heather Graham as the public option racing against "lazy" and "bloated" health insurance companies. The ad encourages viewers to call the Capitol switchboard to demand a public option.
MoveOn.org has used other celebrities in health care ads calling for reform. Last month, the group ran an ad featuring a number of actors, including Will Ferrell and Jon Hamm.
