Jim Geraghty links to an offensive new AARP ad depicting opponents of Obamacare as malicious drivers, intentionally blocking an ambulance’s path on its way to the hospital:

I’m no PR guru, but perhaps these stories could produce an effective counter-ad.

From the UK’s Daily Mail:
Strict government targets on treating [Emergency Room] patients and overcrowding are causing ambulance logjams which stop crews attending [911] calls, the leader of Britain’s biggest union has claimed.
Dave Prentis, of Unison, told the the ITV1 Tonight With Trevor McDonald programme that ambulances were forced to queue, often for several hours, outside [Emergency Rooms] while waiting to register or hand over their patients.

It seems that merely getting to a hospital is sometimes less than half the battle under a government-run health-care regime.
