This unsettling political ad encourages Americans to opt out of ObamaCare. The healthcare system put in place by the current president of the United States has been met with controversy since its implementation in 2010. Otherwise known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was considered a significant overhaul of the country's healthcare.
The ad shows a young woman visiting the doctor's office for a gynaecological exam. The female doctor has everything prepped before walking out of the room. Suddenly a frightening version of Uncle Sam, a symbolic figure that represents the American government, pops up between the girl's legs. The political ad bares the slogan 'Don't let government play doctor.'
While it is important for US citizens to be informed about their healthcare system and to be given the choice to opt out of ObamaCare, this video is likely to give women across the globe nightmares.
