Spitzer's Healthcare Ad

Well, this is a first: Eliot is running commercials to counteract 1199's ad blast in opposition to his healthcare reform proposals. Here, via Capitol Confidential, is the ad:


Voiceover after the flip.

Visual throughout is a newborn ward at a hospital.

VO: In New York, we fund a healthcare system that rewards institutions, insurance companies and unions, not patients, giving us the most expensive Medicaid system in the country, and some of the highest rates of chronic disease.

Eliot Spitzer's healthcare plan puts the money where it belongs: towards bringing patient care up and disease down, making sure that every single kid born in New York will finally have medical coverage.

(Fade to black: text appears: "Patients before profits. It's time".)

VO: And the only people crying about that are the usual special interests.

From 1199 and the Greater New York Hospitals Assocation:

Finger pointing and name calling will neither insure a single additional New Yorker nor improve patient care for any man, woman or child in our state.
