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?

Right wing bullcrap likely funded by drug companies .

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.

Msnbc should know better than to air that shit . Oh I forgot they are owned by right winger trash.

(4,002 posts)6. The whole ad is a non-sequitor. The ideas do not lead to the conclusion.
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.
