60 second radio ad
Man: Thank goodness the election is over.
Woman: And there’s more good news: The President’s reelection means we’ll finally see health care reform. Know what that means for us?
Man: Uh… Uninsured families will get coverage—but our family already has health insurance. Woman:
Man: I didn’t know that.
Woman: And, the new law will bring about $10 billion dollars to Maryland over six years, creating thousands of good-paying jobs for people like us.
Man: I didn’t know that.
Woman: Over time, the new law will reduce the hidden tax we pay for health care for the uninsured by as much as a thousand dollars a year
Man: I didn’t know that.
Woman: Plus, the new law lowers prescription drug costs for seniors and lets young people stay on their parents’ insurance.
Man: I knew that… But, how do you know all of that?
Woman: Because I looked it up at www.healthcareforall.com.
Man: Healthcareforall.com? I’ve got some reading to do.
