New Ad Contrasts Kerry Plan to Cut Health Costs with Bush’s Record of Failure and Plan to Raise Costs
Washington, DC – The Kerry-Edwards campaign Tuesday unveiled a new 30-second television ad pointing out the very real differences between the health care plans of John Kerry and George W. Bush.
While Kerry has a plan to lower costs and expand access to coverage, the ad reminds voters that President Bush’s wrong choices have sent prices skyrocketing, and his wrong plans for America would increase premiums for four out of five small businesses and increase the uninsured by over one million individuals.
“When it comes to health care, George Bush’s approach has taken America in the wrong direction,” Kerry-Edwards spokesperson Phil Singer said. “He’s chosen to help his special interest friends instead of cutting the health care costs of ordinary Americans. John Kerry will move this country in a new direction with lower costs for families and businesses.”
The ad, called “Uninsured,” will start airing this week in battleground states. It can be viewed at www.johnkerry.com
