Public health authorities and tobacco control advocates don't have anywhere near the budgets necessary to employ the same PR techniques on the same scale as for-profit corporations. The irony in the article is that corporations
that profess to have an interest in people's health are now using the same
deceptive PR and lobbying techniques that the tobacco industry perfected.

I am a vet and have used the VA Hospital services. I have found them to be exemplary. My appointment starts on time and there is very little waiting during the entire time you are there. In emergency clinic, the time it takes to see you is many times shorter then a comparable visit to a general hospital. My dad (WW 2 vet) has used the services as well and have found them to be very good. So the government has done a great job in providing health care to me and my family.
I would encourage all medical services to look at the VA medical system and see how they can emulate them! They are focused on the patient and provide a great professional and compassionate care. Their use of technology and communications truly allow the close doctor patient focused care that I see missing in many of todays practices.
I suggest to distinguish "fake news" from this kind of "newsmercials".
