The New York Times reports on a million-dollar ad campaign by the Koch-financed Americans for Prosperity to continue to sow doubts, confusion and resistance against implementation of Obamacare. Interesting that Arkansas doesn’t appear to be targeted, even though half the Republican legislative caucus joined the vote to implement Obamacare here.

The article reports an estimate that a half-BILLION has already been spent by groups opposing health care insurance expansion and that another half-billion will be spent.

UPDATE: Sarah Kliff in the Washington Post has good answers for the questions posed in the Kochs’ misleading ads.
