[ male announcer ] some people lift your spirits... the same way the smooth, creamy taste of coffee-mate... makes coffee and your day better. coffee-mate. coffee's perfect mate. and they're definitely controversial. so who's behind the ads encouraging young people to opt-out of obamacare? brian todd finds out. the president was fired-up, over an attack on his healthcare law. some of the tea party's biggest donors, some of the wealthiest men in america, are funding a cynical ad campaign trying to convince young people not to buy health care at all. here's what he's apparently talking about: "take your pants off." two internet- ads, depicting young obama- care customers at the doctors' office for exams. in this one called the glove a young guy doesn't see a rectal exam, from a creepy uncle-sam, coming. in another- an examiner gets a young woman

into stirrups "ok, let's have a look. then slips out, leaving the woman at the mercy of creepy uncle sam.. each ad ends with billboards saying 'don't let the government play doctor; opt out of obamacare.' the videos have gone viral. now cnn's gotten the first t-v interview with the maker of the ads. a group called generation opportunity. i spoke with its president, evan feinberg. brian: "many call this scary and creepy. senator patty murray calls these ads 'deplorable and sexist.' what's your response?' feinberg: "well frankly obamacare is creepy and scary for my generation. feinberg also says the health exchanges, where people will go to buy private policies under obama- care, will get too much of customers' private data. that information's gonna span from private information such as tax information and personal financial information. but it's also gonna be health-status pieces of information, such as whether or not i'm sexually-active. senior

administration officials have told cnn that the exchanges will get some financial information but not your medical history- except your age, and whether you smoke. feinberg says counter to president obama's remark- generation opportunity's not trying to encourage young people not to buy any health insurance. but there's also controversy over who's backing these ads: "these are billionaires several times over." the president implies, and democratic senator patty murray says flat-out, that it's the koch brothers, charles and david koch. strongly- conservative, mysterious billionaires-- who are behind the ads. standup: tax- filings we've found show the ads' producer, generation opportunity, got 5- million dollars from a group called freedom partners, between late 2011 and late 2012. we've also found that three of the five directors of freedom partners are current or former executives of the koch's firm. when asked if koch has a lot of influence over them- an official of freedom partners said its directors have expertise in
5:43 am
different areas and they rely on that expertise. koch industries issued a statement saying freedom partners operates independently of koch industries. so we pressed feinberg: brian: "is the money for your group coming directly or indirectly from the koch brothers, yes or no?" feinberg: "we have a variety of donors. and we protect their confidentiality. they're of course free to talk about their donations to us anytime. but as you know, in an era when the irs is targeting opponents of the administration, i can understand why some of our donors want to keep their information confidential." the total money spent on the ads is about 750- thousand dollars. they've gotten millions of hits on the web... in just over a week. coming up in our 6 o'clock hour... reuniting with loved ones... after months of deployment. why the crowd held up exactly 127 signs... when welcoming these troops home from afghanistan. the orioles season ends in fitting fashion. see if jim johnson could get the save... and send the o's
