(The Politico) The progressive group Health Care for America Now on Thursday launched another jab at the insurance industry’s health care reform campaign. The new YouTube ad mocks the listening tour launched this week by America’s Health Insurance Plans.

The video spot highlights the fact that calls to the campaign’s 800 number go straight to voicemail. A frustrated caller leaves a message saying, in part, “If you really want to listen, pick up the phone.”

“What else would you expect from the health insurance industry,” the ad then asks in white lettering on a black background.

When a reporter dialed 800-289-1136 this afternoon, he also got a voicemail message. AHIP did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
