Democrats are angry about a new T.V. ad touting the benefits of the new Medicare Reform Bill. Critics say the commercial is nothing more than a campaign prop for the Bush Administration.
“Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson said Thursday he will pull a taxpayer-funded television ad on the new Medicare law from the airwaves if congressional investigators determine it is political.”
Tommy Thompson says he doesn’t believe the ad is political, but he will rely on the suggestion of the GAO before proceeding.
“The 30-second ad, titled ``Same Medicare. More Benefits,'' has prompted strong criticism from Democratic lawmakers and a range of interest groups who say it is a barely disguised commercial for President Bush's re-election campaign.”
