Lately, Americans have been inundated with advertisements hoping to influence their opinions on health-care reform. In fact, as of late October spending on health-care themed TV ads by special-interest groups and government-affiliated agencies reached over $130 million, according to the Associated Press. 

While online videos and TV commercials against the president's agenda commonly use scare tactics to get their points across, many pro-reform advertisements have taken a more sentimental approach. Take, for example, an advertisement by the Americans for Stable Quality Care, a non-profit coalition of organizations aiming to ensure all Americans have quality health care. In one minute, the video portrays the emotional tale of a couple forced to sell their home to pay for hospital bills, presumably due to the denial of health-care coverage.
