A group advocating for reform of the country’s health-care system is running an eye-catching ad in Iowa newspapers on Monday to bring attention to its cause.
The ad, sponsored by the California Nurses Association, or CNA, and the National Nurses Organizing Committee, asserts that Vice President Dick Cheney probably would be dead now if he were anyone else and his government health benefits had not paid for treatments for his heart.
Charles Idelson, the communications director for the group, said the full-page ad will run in 10 Iowa newspapers.
“The point we’re trying to make here is that health care is clearly the most critical domestic issue in this election campaign,” he said.
The CNA and its national arm, the National Nurses Organizing Committee, are a health-care union representing 75,000 members in 40 states, according to the group’s Web site.
Many of the presidential candidates are talking about health-care policy, Idelson said, but none of the top-tier candidates have embraced the establishment of the same type of system that the vice president and members of Congress enjoy, he added.
Idelson said the group hopes Iowa voters see the ads, and it is encouraging them to demand an accounting of the issue by the presidential candidates.
