Fighting Healthcare Disinformation

From Politico:

The group Conservatives for Patients Rights will air a long-form, documentary-style attack on Obama's heath care reform plans on national cable and on broadcast television in Washington, starting tomorrow, the group said.

The ad will air on A&E the History Channel, as well as on the D.C. NBC affiliate after "Meet the Press" on Sunday.

The title: "End of Patient’s Rights — The Human Consequences of Government-Run Health Care."

Scott will star in the documentary, which follows him to Europe and Canada.


SEIU has also been urging NBC to reconsider airing this blatantly misleading documentary.

Rick Scott has a track record of deceit. Scott's previous ads contained blatantly false statements and misleading excerpts of interviews with health care professionals. Join us in telling NBC not to run this phony "documentary" this Sunday.

If Scott's 30-minute "documentary" contains any falsehoods, NBC could very well find themselves with an FCC violation. Furthermore, Meet the Press needs to know that they're being used by Rick Scott, and will be tarnished by his swiftboating


Media Matters Action Network has a "fact-check" video sponsored by Conservatives For Patients' Rights



Below is a clip that is going to be included in Scott's "documentary".



You can let NBC know that you don't agree with their decision to air this misleading programming. Click here.
