Sen. Joe Manchin Shoots GOP Obamacare Lawsuit In New Re-Election Ad
His opponent backs a lawsuit that could invalidate the laws insurance protections for those with preexisting conditions.
WASHINGTON ―In a new campaign ad Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) literally shoots a document representing the Republican-led lawsuit that could end a key and very popular Affordable Care Act provision.
The 30-second spot starts with Manchin mentioning an ad that helped catapult him to the Senate in 2010, in which he took dead aim at a complicated cap-and-trade environmental bill that had passed in the House. Manchin, rated by analysts as among the most vulnerable senators on the ballot this year, in the new ad takes aim against the effort to invalidate Obamacares insurance protections for people with pre-existing medical conditions.
West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrissey, Manchins GOP challenger in Novembers election, is among the plaintiffs in the lawsuit that would allow insurance companies to deny coverage to people with various pre-existing conditions.
He is just dead wrong and that aint going to happen, Manchin says in his ad.
