GOP Group Launches Health Care Ad Ahead of CBO Score [View all]

A conservative issue advocacy organization is spending an additional $2 million on a nationwide television ad campaign to promote the Republicans’ health care plan ahead of the release of the Congressional Budget Office score, which is expected Wednesday.

The American Action Network, which has close ties to House GOP leadership, is debuting the campaign on Tuesday morning on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” The ad will also air in 21 congressional districts.


Since the House narrowly passed the Republican plan this month, the network has spent $5.6 million on radio, TV and digital ads, making it the only major GOP outside group to sell the plan on air.
Its latest ad features a woman who says her family lost their “insurance and doctor because of the Affordable Care Act.”

“But now, we have hope,” says the woman, who’s identified as Elizabeth Jacinto. “Thank House Republicans for the better health care we deserve.”
