Nancy Pelosi Group Running Obamacare Attack Ad!!

NR reports:

In Florida’s 26th district, Democrats are running away from the president completely, and Obamacare in part:

Now, it is true that Garcia doesn’t call for repeal. Indeed, the ad boasts that the candidate is “working to fix” the law, and it praises him both for holding “insurance companies accountable” and for defending the provision that prevents insurance companies from denying coverage to those with pre-existing conditions. But it is fascinating to watch a Political Action Committee associated with Nancy “we’re going to run on Obamacare” Pelosi slamming the White House for “the disastrous healthcare website” and boasting — without any time qualification, it should be said — that its man “voted to let you keep your existing health plan.”

    1. She's (b)rich and powerful so rather than resorting to ad hominem or stating the obvious, how about suggesting ways to thwart her?

    One of the President's biggest lies is his claim that health insurance companies have unchecked power to deny coverage or payment for pre-exisiting conditions. This is always cited as one of the chief justifications for the ACA. However, this claim is totally false. The truth is that 5 states have regulations that ban pre-existing exclusions altogether, and the rest of the states limit pre-existing exclusions to various extents. See the table toward the bottom of the following document from the National Council of State Legislatures showing each state's regulation of pre-existing conditions.

    It's baffling to me why no one challenges the President and his supporters on this claim since it is clearly false, and can be easily shown to be so.

    1. Maybe because the government is in bed with the media and controlled by the big corporations?

    2. Thank you @ anon 9:31pm. Your response is helpful. Now folks with social media can perhaps tweet, add link to comments in blogs, etc. to counter government disinformation / propaganda.
