WASHINGTON (AP) — Eleven of the nation's largest business groups are airing a multimillion-dollar TV ad campaign that says the health overhaul legislation in the House would raise taxes and worsen the economy without curbing medical expenses.

The ad is to begin running Monday evening on national cable TV and in 19 states. It calls the legislation "a bill American can't afford to pay."

The coalition of sponsoring groups includes the National Federation of Independent Business and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

The House plans to vote on the Democratic-written legislation this week.
