Group runs ads targeting Faso, Stefanik for AHCA support [View all]
The pitch: A health care advocacy group is running a mix of TV and web ads against Reps. John Faso, R-Kinderhook, and Elise Stefanik, R-Essex County, after they voted last week in favor of the American Health Care Act, the House Republican Obamacare repeal and replace legislation.
Save My Care is running ads in 24 Republican-held congressional districts nationwide, including three in New York (Faso’s 19th district, Stefanik’s 21st district and Rep. Lee Zeldin’s 1st district on Long Island). The national ad buy is more than $500,000, according to CBS.
“Congressman Faso just voted for a disastrous health care repeal bill opposed by the American Medical Association, AARP and the American Cancer Society,” a narrator says in the Faso ad.
The ads claim that the AHCA increases health care costs by 20 percent and cuts coverage for 24 million people, that insurance companies can deny affordable coverage for cancer treatment and for maternity care, and that insurance companies can charge five times more for people over 50.
“Congressman Faso, how could you do this to us,” the narrator says in the 19th district ad.
