Americans For Prosperity Spends Thousands To Spread Their Lies Via The USPS


http://nhlabornews.com/2014/06/americans-for-prosperity-spends-thousands-to-spread-their-lies-via-the-usps/

The Americans For Prosperity are out spreading their half-truths and out right lies all over New Hampshire. It started with a $1 million dollars in TV ad buys, and now it is direct mailers.

Americans For Prosperity, the Koch brothers funded TEA Party group, send out thousands of high quality, glossy, photo flyers throughout the granite state. AFP and the GOP are trying to convince you to call Senator Shaheen and tell her “Obamacare is hurting NH families.”



Above banner rotates when you get to the site.

The majority of the quotes on these propaganda flyers come from a Boston Globe article, “With health law, less-easy access in N.H. Lone insurer in plan reduces roster of hospitals to keep premiums low,” which actually spells out quite clearly that Anthem Blue Cross-Blue Shield cut services at local hospitals.

“To keep premiums affordable, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Hampshire, the only insurer in the state offering coverage in the new insurance marketplace, radically reduced the hospitals in its network.”
