Maybe Charlie Baker didn't want him reading about insurers paying too much

The Outraged Liberal got outraged this morning trying to read a Globe story about insurers paying certain hospitals too much money for care that isn't really any better, because an ad for former Harvard-Pilgrim CEO turned gubernatorial hopeful Charlie Baker popped up right over the text.

Tinker Ready, meanwhile, wonders why Attorney General Martha Coakley plans on releasing this report without naming the hospitals that provide Chevy services at Cadillac prices; seems like a massively general hospital overview like that doesn't do much good in solving the issues it raises - which apparently also says hospitals that provide the most care for poor people get paid even less.

That ad IS pretty annoying - it's one of those semi-transparent pop-ups that stubbornly floats in the middle of your screen no matter where you scroll.

So - no fixed position and no substance? Just like the candidate.

It scrolls all over the place, and I inadvertantly clicked on it -- now this damn campaign knows my URL; I've seen these ads before and I can't stand them!

That ad is the online equivalent of a robocall.

Speaking of such-type annoying ads, the one on this site for Anderson Windows has a similar pop-up and is equally annoying.
