John Kerry's campaign has run commercials about failed Bush administration health-care policies using a New Hampshire couple as an example.


Mary Ann Knowles

In speeches across the country, including his nomination acceptance speech, Kerry has talked about how Mary Ann Knowles was forced to work every day during 16 weeks of chemotherapy just to maintain her health insurance.

Yesterday, as Kerry visited the state and again invited John and Mary Ann Knowles to be a part of a campaign stop, reports surfaced in two newspapers that the story wasn't true.

In interviews with the New Hampshire Sunday News this month, John Knowles said his family has good health insurance, and his wife's employer said the couple's story "wasn't really the best example" for Kerry's argument.

Yesterday, the Manchester Union Leader published a front-page editorial condemning Kerry for the distortion.
