The National Journal revealed last month that six of the top health insurance corporations had secretly pumped up to $20 million dollars into the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for a $100-million-dollar attack ad campaign against health reform in 2009. This week, insurers purchased a new round of attack ads, again with millions (between $4 and $10M) funneled through the Chamber.

You couldn't find a better example of hypocrisy exemplifying the industry's two-pronged strategy of publicly supporting reform--while secretly funding an all-out effort to undermine it.

This weekend, Progressive Media put out a new video debunking the health insurer-funded, anti-reform TV ad released by the Chamber, titled "Afford." As Media Matters notes in their fact check, it's too bad the Chamber couldn't 'afford' to pony up the dough for any actual facts in their short spot. Watch:
