The health care reform propaganda war brought to you by Swift Boat veterans for Untruth
"Rick Scott, a former hospital company chief executive, leads a group called Conservatives for Patients’ Rights. He was forced to resign as C.E.O. after his company defrauded the government through overbilling and is now spending his time trying to block meaningful health care reform by terrifying us with commercials of “real-life stories of the victims of government-run health care.”
So here’s a far more representative “real-life story.”
Diane Tucker, 59, is an American lawyer who moved to Vancouver, Canada, in 2006. Like everyone else there, she now pays the equivalent of just $49 a month for health care."

Oh dear oh dear this will never do - don't you know it's verboten to confuse this issue with facts? You're not allowed point out that a) those who want to maintain the US status quo have a regressive agenda and b) that status quo is sadly lacking compared to other countries.
