MoveOn.org is out with a new TV ad calling on Congress to include a public option in any health care reform bill it sends to President Obama for signature. The twist is that the man making the pitch is a former health insurance executive, Wendell Potter.
Potter, in the ad: “Don’t believe the insurance companies’ spin, trust me, I used to write it.”
The ad comes just a day after the health insurance industry issued a report attacking the reform bill expected to pass the Senate Finance Commitee this afternoon. See the MoveOn spot here.
