The Club For Growth has announced a new $1.2 million ad campaign, warning against a government-run health care system where people’s lives are given a dollar value:

The ad says that in England, government bureaucrats decided that six months of life are worth $22,750. “Under their socialized system, if a medical treatment costs more, you’re out of luck,” the announcer says. “That’s wrong for America. Life-and-death medical decisions should be made by patients and doctors, not politicians and bureaucrats.”

The ad will target Democratic Senators and Representatives in Nevada, Colorado, Arkansas and North Dakota.
