Nebraska

Vote Kids launched an advertising campaign on January 13th 2010, in Nebraska highlighting the importance of health care reform and its benefits for children. The ad from the non-partisan children’s advocacy group Vote Kids is titled “Thanks for Caring” and will air dozens of times on Nebraska television stations over the next several days.

The Vote Kids TV ad features Dr. Amanda McKinney, a Nebraska obstetrician/gynecologist who knows first-hand the deficiencies of our current system of care and coverage. The full text of the ad follows:

Dr. Amanda McKinney:

I’ve spent my career treating families. I know first hand how our health care system has often let kids and their parents down.

A lot of people talk about helping Nebraska families. Ben Nelson does it.

While Governor, Ben Nelson made sure more kids got health insurance and as a Senator he supports health care reform that will saves lives and saves money.

Thank you Senator Nelson for taking care of our kids and families. Your vote on health reform was right for Nebraska and our nation.
