AFSCME Radio Ad Against Obama

AFSCME Healthcare Ad Transcript:

Woman's Voice: Healthcare.  It's a confusing topic.  Especially lately. Everyone's got a plan. But who can make sense of it all?  Universal health care where everyone is covered and costs are controlled is within our reach.  With all these plans there is one fundamental difference, either everyone is covered or some are left behind.  CBS News reports Obama's plan, according to independent experts, leaves as many as 15 million uninsured.  The New York Times columnist Paul Krugman writes: Obama's plan would lead to higher premiums by rewarding the irresponsible who don't get covered.  The column goes on to say that there is a quote “uncomfortable sense among some health reformers that Mr. Obama just isn't that serious about achieving universal care.”  Call Senator Obama at 202-224-2854.  Tell him we need universal care, not his plan that leaves 15 million behind.
