They need to show that the ACA benefits everyone who has private insurance and how the AHCA destroys that.

How difficult is that?

People are generally selfish so highlighting 23 million losing theirs doesn't register with those who have employer sponsored coverage.

Pre-existing conditions, caps, etc. not a word. Democratic Party sucks at messaging. This is an issue we could win on and all they got is this? Remember the old lady in wheelchair being hurled off the cliff? That was good

The message can get lost in this ad -- too weak. Also, it's boring and really not eye/ear-catching. Most may miss this ad, low points for sound bites, fails as an "attention getter"

Hope there's a series of ads hammering home the benefits of AHA and disastrous effects of AHCA. Jimmy Kimmel could be the poster child for the AHCA (although I doubt that was his goal) but there's tons of people with a story to tell. You can do much better Dems, pls try again.
