seen this ad on msnbc? don't let congress import price restrictions from canada...

flies by so fast one cannot read the blurb at the end of who is paying for it. suspect the name is so generic u cannot actually tell who is behind it. have you seen this ad and know what's the story behind it?

Would love to hear some comments from our Canadian friends, but I'm pretty sure this ad is bullshit.

And yes, it is more scare tactics using falsehoods IMNSHO.

How do we go from a sick girl to price restrictions?

I think the intent of the ad is mindless repetition of the idea that Canadian-style healthcare is bad, despite the lack of logic.
