We do watch some American TV programs here at home. While doing so we subjected to an ad that was an insult to our intelligence, then again what is new about that. It was a political ad featuring a Canadian, Shona Holmes, whining about her alleged mistreatment by the medical care she received at home and had to go to the US to be saved.

My wife and I did a little checking and found that the story and ad were just a little bit twisted. Here are a couple of links Ian Welsh: Americans Lives vs. Insurance Company Profits: The Real Battle in Health Care Reform and Kevin Grandia: Koch's AFP Recycles Debunked Anti-Public Health Care Attack Ad . As we suspected the ad is a little more than misleading.
