In a spot set to air on national cable networks as well as on CBS during the first round of NCAA tournament games, Americans United for Change and the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) boil down their case for reform to one succinct equation: "If the Insurance companies win ... we lose." "Health Insurance companies are out of control," the spot reads, with a picture of insurance executives high-fiving in the background. "They deny our claims, drop us when we're sick, and pay their CEOs huge bonuses. They refuse to cover people who have "pre-existing conditions" ... leaving families in financial ruin ... at the same time taking record profits. Time to hold the insurance companies accountable." The script exemplifies the extent to which progressives, unions, and the Democratic Party apparatus have framed the health care debate as a referendum on private insurance rather than, say, the need to reform the medical system itself. Of course, the bill set to be considered by the House of Representatives this week does not contain a government-run insurance option to fully disrupt the private insurance market. That said, AFSCME, AUC and others have become fully invested in seeing reform's passage and are opening up their wallets to ensure it does. The newest ad, called "Accountable," has $200,000 behind it.

The 30-second ad, called "Accountable," calls health insurers "out of control." The narrator intones that "they deny our claims, drop us when we're sick, and pay their CEOs huge bonuses." Viewers see images of gleaming office towers and executives on a sleek corporate jet. Americans United and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees are spending $200,000 on the ad, which will run Wednesday through Friday on cable news stations in Washington, D.C., and on Thursday and Friday during the NCAA college basketball tournament on CBS. The ad, which urges viewers to call Congress to signal their support for health care legislation, can be viewed here<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3zCJW2EaJo>. Groups on both sides are spending<http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2010-03-09-health-ads_N.htm> heavily to influence the closing debate on health care. Our USA TODAY colleagues Mimi Hall and Matt Kelley have taken an in-depth look at two recent ads, one by Americans United aimed at black viewers and the other by a business coalition led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Updated at 11:10 p.m. ET: Another liberal coalition has just announced a $1.4 million ad buy in support of health care legislation. The Health Care for America Now, Service Employees International Union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and Catholics United are underwriting the ads, which will start today. They will run in the districts of members of Congress viewed as swing votes on the health care bill.

Americans United for Change, which recently released a $490,000 ad campaign directed at African-American voters, has tossed another $200,000 at a 30-second spot running this week. The ad is also being financed by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). The ad, titled 'Accountable,' takes aim at "out of control" health insurance companies, claiming some of them are increasing premium rates by 75 percent. The ad will run on FOX, CNN and MSNBC in the Washington, D.C. area and will be aired on CBS during the first round of the NCAA tournament.

The spot put out by Americans United for Change and AFSCME cites recent 76% hikes<http://articles.sfgate.com/2010-02-26/news/17957301_1_rate-hikes-health-rates-rate-increases> on health care premiums for small businesses in California, and portrays drink-swilling execs hopping on private planes, living it up off those premiums. "Health Insurance companies are out of control," the spot says. "They deny our claims, drop us when we're sick, and pay their CEOs huge bonuses." And the groups are going big time at crunch time with the ad, spending a couple hundred grand to air it on CBS during the NCAA tournament as well as the cable news shows in D.C.

The groups spent $200,000 to run the ad on cable news in the D.C. area, and on CBS during the NCAA basketball tournament this week. "If the insurance companies win, we lose," the ad reads, and includes footage of men in ties high-fiving. THE WHITE HOUSE BULLETIN Bulletin News, LLC * 11190 Sunrise Valley Drive, Suite 130 * Reston, VA 20191 * Fax (703) 674-1048 * Tel (703) 483-6100 SUBJECT: TODAY'S BRIEFING DATE: Tuesday, March 16, 2010 * On TV, Pro-Obamacare Groups Pitch Closing Argument. After spending millions over a year to promote passage of President Obama's health care reform plan, advocates are readying their "closing argument" for the reform that would bring major changes and new costs to the medical and insurance industries. Multiple groups are planning to run TV and radio ads on national cable news programs and locally in targeted districts of wavering House and Senate members in hopes of influencing this coming weekend vote on reform. The advocates say that there is momentum for passage prompted by Obama's two weeks of trips around the country to give speeches encouraging Americans to pressure lawmakers to support the reform legislation. The 11th hour advocacy campaigns are exemplified by one group that has spent millions so far to help Obama - Americans United For Change. In their latest $200,000 effort, the group is teaming with AFSCME to run ads Wednesday through Friday on Fox, CNN and MSNBC. The ad<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3zCJW2EaJo> is called "Accountable" and raps insurance companies for boosting rates. "Our closing argument spot boils the debate down to a battle between average people and the insurance companies, whose greed has run so amok that staggering 75 percent premium increases happening right now in some cases will become standard in no time if Congress does not hold them to account right here - right now," said spokesman Jeremy Funk in a statement to the Bulletin. Funk said the group also plans to target younger voters during the Thursday and Friday CBS airing of the NCAA tournament. -- Bulletin exclusive from U.S. News ________________________________________ Jeremy J.
