Madding TV AD

There is one ad running on TV right now that makes me mad everytime it comes on. It is the Healthcare ad that has Andy Griffin telling people that you can get "FREE" checkups. Does this man, at his age, not realize NOTHING IS FREE :roll: . Somebody is going to have to pay for all those "FREE" checkups and office visits. As long as people think it is "FREE" they will abuse the system. Simple colds will turn into a reason to visit the Doctor, Hangnails become a reason to visit the Doctor. Simple lonelyness becomes a reason to waste Doctors precious time. Before long the Doctors offices are overwhelmed and the real sick people sit waiting for NEEDED care. Just ask a Canadians what happens when people think healthcare is FREE. :x

I heard this ad is even affecting Andy's popularity in a bad way. I dislike that the Obama Administration is so desparate to sell Healthcare that they would use a TV Icon like Andy to sell their mistake. :x

I saw that earlier and I was very disappointed in Andy...
l never thought he was a liberal, I never thought about it one
way or the other, but it is disappointing the message he is giving.

I always loved Andy's TV shows and thought he was a good actor, but I read somewhere years ago he was against gun ownership, and that he never wanted to carry a gun in his sheriff acting programs, but these ads are the worst !!! 101
