It seems that every year at budget time the health care unions blanket the airwaves with personal attack ads on the governor. It doesn't matter who is in the governor's office because they have done this to the last three governors, who have all proposed NOT cuts, but decreases in the rate of spending growth in healthcare.
Anyone who lives in NYS has seen the ads, featuring sad-looking sick people and health care workers saying things like “Why are you doing this?” and, “I can’t believe Governor Paterson is the one making this proposal.”
One ad, which appears to have stopped airing, showed an apparently blind man in a wheelchair saying "“Why are you doing this to me?”

I have a few questions for discussion:
1. Does anyone actually buy this? Is it working?
2. Do you think that estimated $5 - $6 million they are spending could be better spent? Is this a fair use of member dues?
