If you don’t want to hear any more about health care this week, you may have to do more than just avoid Swampland. Third party groups are coming out in force, on both sides of the issue, targeting national cable audiences and key congressional districts. The specific sources of funding for many of the ads has not been disclosed. Here is a sample.
