1. My wife and I saw an ad on cable yesterday,

from a group identified as "One Nation" that warned of the excessive wait times for sick patients under a single payer system.

2. About One Nation:

One Nation is a dark money group run by Karl Rove's top operatives who run Crossroads GPS and American Crossroads.[1] According to the organization's website "One Nation is a 501(c)(4) organization that will utilize paid communications, public opinion research and grassroots-level advocacy to shape attitudes on major issues and mobilize citizens to take action by contacting and interacting with policymakers in Washington."[2]
