W. PA TV stations have a blizzard of ads against HCR. "Call Jason Altmire and thank him for |
|
standing up for jobs and against the HC bill in congress" is the final statement in the ad. Altmire(D) was a "No" on the original house vote. He is a lobbyist for UPMC, one of the largest (maybe the largest) health care providers and insurers in the area.

2. It seems like a waste of ad money; they could just slip a brown envelope loaded with cash |
|
to him at one of those expensive DC restaurants to get his "No" vote. He would take it.
