Ohio's Anti-Issue 2 "Facts" Ad Short On Facts

Without revisiting the whole thing, let me repeat that I'm for Issue 2, Ohio's Drug Price Relief Act.  It will reduce prescription drug costs for over 4 million Ohioans on Medicaid.

The well-heeled opposition, Ohioans Against the Deceptive Rx Ballot Issue, has been running an ad blitz.  Their latest spot, "Facts," pushes a misleading take on just exactly what constitutes a fact:



To recap, those ominous "facts" are:

Some could pay higher costs.  (Or they could not.  Possibilities are not facts.  It could rain.  Or maybe not.)

Families, veterans and seniors could pay more.  (See the first point.)

The Issue 2 sponsor is a California drug company that sells drugs.  (Shocking.  The opposition is the entire American pharmaceutical industry and their huge army of lobbyists.)

Some groups are against Issue 2.  (And some are for it.)

From the start, if anything has been deceptive regarding Issue 2, it's been the scare-tactic advertising of the Ohioans Against the Deceptive Rx Ballot Issue.  The funding comes straight from Big Pharma, which is all you really need to know.
