This video is an ad created by Generation Opportunity that
was made to encourage young people to vote against Obamacare. The ad features a
young man going in for a check-up after signing up for Obamacare. When the Doctor
is informed of the man’s insurance, he tells him to take his pants off and bend
over. The words “don’t let government play doctor” then appear on the screen.
The ad itself is very creepy and can be seen as disrespectful to the figure of
Uncle Sam. There is a political phrase, “bend over,” that refers to the government
taking control of people. Generation Opportunity attempted to give this phrase
a literal meaning. The argument made is that the government is too involved in
hospital visits. They feel that if you vote for Obamacare you will not receive quality
care in hospitals. I am not greatly involved with politics, but I do not support
this ad. I found the ad to be quite extreme and not very practical.
