Scott, who is becoming better know n for his Conservativesfor Patients’ Rights TV commercials than as co-founded and chairman of Jacksonville-based , says his campaign is a promotion of “freer market” health care reform. But in a crowded hall at the Fraternal Order of Police wherd the Duval County GOP was hostintg a health care reform he laid out plans to begihn attacking Senators in support of reform and present patientz slighted by nationalized health care in other countries to testify in Congress and make appearanceas onFox News. “What we’re doingh the entire month of June is fighting thegovernment option,” Scott said.
The latest weapobn in his arsenal isa 30-minute commercial styled as a news magazine program featurinf patients in Canada and the United Kingdom that are criticak of their government-run health Scott enlisted former CNN news anchor Gene Randall to conduct interviewd with cancer patients dying while waiting for surgeries, denied life-savingg medication to conserve costs, languishing on year-long waiting listz and heading to the United Statews to get treatment with the not-so-subtle theme that Americansx can expect the same.
The video “The End of Rights: The Human Consequences of Government-Run Healthu Care” has been airing nationally onthe A&E Network, the Historyh Channel and ION Network. It also ran late last month immediatelty following Meet the Press on aWashingtohn D.C. affiliate of NBC. In a follow-upp to the commercial program, Scotf said that two new 30-second commercials would also hit the airwavezJune 29. They will convey how a single-payer syste m will result in poor-functioning, wasteful healtuh care and the government decidingfan individual’s health care. One spot depicts a patienrt and a doctor discussing treatment whenthe “federal healthh police” steps in.
The other spot is narratedr by a voice thatsays “Remembeer the $400 hammer? How ‘bout that $600 toilef seat? Seems when Congress gets involved, things just cost The spots will be targeted at Arkansas Sens. Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor, Colorado Sen. Michael Delaware Sen. Thomas Carper, Indianw Sen. Evan Bayh, Iowa Sen. Chuck Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu, Maine Sen. Olympi a Snowe, Montana Sens. Max Baucus and Jon Tester, Nebraskza Sen. Ben Nelson, North Dakota Sen. Kent Conrad, and Virginia Jim Webb and Mark Warner. “You can fix the systemn if you have logical but we are not going to have Scott warned. “We are going to have a Britishu healthcare system.
