Bill Flores Slammed In New Edwards TV Spot

The Edwards campaign claims it would be a dishonor to American veterans if Flores succeeds in his alleged goal -- to privatize veterans' health care. The ad features veterans sharing their concerns with this plan, including the concern that private hospitals are not equipped to handle the rehabilitation of a veteran.
