UPDATE:

This just up on CNN’s Political Ticker:

The anti-tax Club for Growth is launching a $1.2 million ad campaign in four states pressuring Democratic members of Congress to “oppose government-run health care.”

The spot makes the claim that in England, the government-administered health care system makes decisions about when patients should die…

According to the Club, the ads will run throughout the August congressional recess.

The group said the campaign is aimed at Nevada Sen. Harry Reid; Colorado Sens. Michael Bennet and Mark Udall; Arkansas Sens. Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor; and North Dakota Sens. Byron Dorgan and Kent Conrad.

Targeted members of Congress include Arkansas Reps. Marion Berry, Vic Snyder, and Mike Ross; Colorado Reps. Diana DeGette, Jared Polis, John Salazar, Betsy Markey, Ed Perlmutter, and North Dakota Rep. Earl Pomeroy.
