Doctors Have Their Say on Both Sides of Health Care Debate

Following President Obama's health care address with doctors from around the country -- decked out in white coats -- Organizing for America (OFA) is launching an ad featuring a doctor and a nurse. OFA is Mr. Obama's political arm of the Democratic National Committee.

"We need to provide stability and security for those who have insurance, and cover those that don't," Dr. Jeremy Spinks says in the ad.

The ad will run for two weeks on national cable, according to Talking Points Memo.

Meanwhile, the conservative advocacy group Americans for Prosperity is running its own ad featuring Dr. Ami Siems, a family practitioner. The group is spending $1.7 million to run the ad through next Wednesday on national cable, Chris Cillizza reports.

"If the government starts to take over health care, your choices could be reduced health care could be rationed, quality would suffer," Siems warns.

CBSNews.com will give a more in-depth look at the different perspectives of medical professionals today on its live Web show Washington Unplugged at 12:30 p.m. ET. Dr. Donald Palmisano, former president of the American Medical Association and a spokesman for the Coalition to Protect Patients' Rights, recently wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. Palmisano will debate Mr. Obama's health care proposals with Dr. Mandy Krauthamer, who recently met with the president to discuss reform.
