While the House is still fighting it out over Trumpcare, Senate Democrats are going on offense, with the DSCC launching a gripping new ad called "The Price."
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) is launching #FightWealthcare, a new television and digital campaign building on the grassroots movement against the Republican plan that would force Americans across the country to pay more for their health care and leave a staggering 24 million without insurance – all to give taxpayer funded handouts to insurance companies and the richest few. The campaign features the DSCC’s first television advertisement of the 2018 cycle, “The Price,” a spot highlighting the stark and crippling burden the Republican plan would put on middle class families forced to pay more as insurance costs skyrocket while insurance companies get a tax break.
Alongside the new ad, the DSCC is unveiling a new website, www.FightWealthcare.com, a digital hub where voters can join the fight, learn and share the facts about the Republican Wealthcare proposal—including state-specific information on how the Republican plan will increase costs for families, utilizing estimates of premium increases for both 60- and 45-year olds.
In announcing the targeted TV and digital buy meant to focus on swing voters, Sen. Chris Van Hollen said Democrats are "proud to stand with voters who are speaking out and fighting back against Wealthcare. […] And we will make sure that every single Republican Senate candidate from Florida to Nevada is held accountable for their party’s toxic anti-healthcare agenda."
Trumpcare's prospects in the Senate likely just got worse. Watch the ad below the fold.
Help them fight. The House is still scheduled to vote on Trumpcare on THURSDAY, MARCH 23. Even if you already called your member of Congress, do it again by calling the Capitol Hill switchboard at (202) 224-3121. Jam the phone lines, urge them to vote NO.
