Please take action: Stop NBC from swiftboating universal health care

Stop NBC from swiftboating universal health care.

Dear Friend,

Americans' lives depend on whether we pass the right kind of health care reform. So why is NBC News airing an infomercial that will spread dangerous misinformation?

Rick Scott is the Chairman of a group called Conservatives for Patients' Rights, and he has a history of disseminating lies and misinformation. According to the AP, Scott is "the former head of Columbia/HCA health care company who was ousted amid a fraud investigation that ultimately resulted in the firm pleading guilty to charges of overbilling." His "documentary" looks to be an extended version of videos he's been promoting over the last few weeks, which FactCheck.org characterized as "misleading" in part because they misrepresented the opinions of a doctor who actually favors the public option.

I just sent an e-mail to NBC News President Steve Capus asking him not to air Rick Scott's shameful propaganda. I hope you will too.

Please have a look and take action.
