Hmmmn, somewhere between the politics, back-peddling and poli-licks there's the truth [[article below contains links for actual ads).

Harry Reid’s claim that the ‘vast majority’ of AFP’s Obamacare ads are ‘lies’

From article:

“Despite all that good news, there’s plenty of horror stories being told. All are untrue, but they’re being told all over America.”
–Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid [[D-Nev.), remarks on the floor of the Senate, Feb. 26, 2014

“I can’t say that every one of the Koch brothers’ ads are a lie, but I’ll say this: Mr. President, the vast, vast majority of them are.”
–Reid, a few hours later

That is fairly accurate. The ad about leukemia patient Julie Boonstra is a prime example. It makes it seem like a) she lost her doctor and access to treatment, which didn't happen, b) that new coverage is unaffordable [[she had a no-copay plan that cost over $1100/month, her new BC/BS policy with $20 copays costs less than half as much, and with Obamacare's copay caps will end up being either a couple of dollars a year [[literally - $2) more or possibly cheaper.
