Out of Control

March 16, 2010

As Congress stands ready to cast a historic vote on health care reform, AFSCME and a coalition of pro-reform groups have launched a series of television ads as part of a final push for passage of the legislation.

AFSCME and Americans United for Change have produced an ad spotlighting sickening premium hikes on individuals and small businesses — as high as 75 percent — as a closing argument for why Congress should stand with their constituents and not the greedy insurance companies making record profits.

Ads from Health Care for America NOW! (HCAN) along with the AFSCME, Catholics United, and SEIU were released today urging Members of Congress to listen to us, not the insurance companies, and vote to pass comprehensive health care reform now. The ads are scheduled to run Tuesday through Friday to coincide with the upcoming vote.

Below is an example of the ad running in the NY-20 district of Rep. Scott Murphy:
