Right wing activists tricked Britians for ads

[netrox]

Amazing how low those cons have gone to trick Britians to appear on ads to appear that they're against government run health care when the women aren't:

"Earlier this year, Conservatives for Patients Rights (CPR), an anti-health care reform group led by the disgraced former CEO of Columbia/HCA Healthcare Rick Scott, began running a commercial attacking the British health care system. The TV ad runs through “tragic stories” of British citizens who it portrays as being against government-run health care such as the National Health Service (NHS).

Now, the Daily Mail is reporting that two of the women featured in the commercial say they were “duped” into appearing in CPR’s ad campaign:

Furious Kate Spall and Katie Brickell claim that their views on the NHS have been misrepresented by a free market campaign group opposed to Mr Obama’s reforms in a bid to discredit the UK system. [...]

Ms Spall and Ms Brickell both agreed to appear in a documentary on healthcare reform. But neither knew that the footage would be used as part of a TV advertising campaign carried on US networks.

The Daily Mail article goes on to note that both Spall and Brickell actually support government-run health care and were advocating for reforms within the NHS, not for its abolition."

Well I'm British, and I don't like the NHS.

I think that people who can afford to pay for health care should do so, but there should be a safety net for those who can't. I think you already have Mediaid and Medicare so you've already got that, but then since I've never experienced American health care I don't have anything to compaire NHS to.

Medicare/Medicaid does NOT cover all Americans. It will cover you if you're legally disabled or a senior.

I think we should raise the senior age limit for Medicare. When it was first implemented, the average lifespan was 67. Now, it's 75.

Medicaid does cover on low income or unemployed, it's depends on income and qualifies, YMMV.

Well it's good that it should be covered for disabled or old people. In this new scheme of Obama those who are old or disabled will be excluded from health care.

It would be good for it to cover low income too. Simply because some disabled/old don't want to have special benifits and it can be awfully hard on their relatives.

lol, it's fake rumor, I cannot believe about what you saying.

That's what Obama wants us to believe, but you get people talking about rationalising health care. They don't want the disabled to get it. So I believe these rumours and worry about my friends over the pond.
