Dem super PAC runs ads against 'Trumpcare'

A Democratic super PAC that backed Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential bid will spend six figures on a new digital ad campaign that blasts the GOP's ObamaCare replacement plan.
 
The push from Priorities USA specifically targets both millennials and those over 50-years-old who voted for President Trump with ads that say both groups are being left behind by the party's plan, which Democrats are pejoratively referring to as 'TrumpCare.'
 
Both groups will be peppered with age-specific advertising arguing that their premiums will rise under the plan. 
 
"Trumpcare puts tax cuts for millionaires ahead of guaranteeing affordable health care," Priorities Executive Director Patrick McHugh said in a statement.



"Donald Trump's priorities show he is betraying the working Americans he promised to put first. As we work to oppose this awful plan, it is critical we make sure voters know whose side Donald Trump is really on."

It would probably be a good idea to let people know that employer-provided plans will take a hit as well.

Luv ya, Jamaal.

DNC is awesome as always. They rock, this super PAC backed our Hill who won over 3 Mil in the popular vote. They are going after Humpty Dumpty and health care for 23 MILLION PEOPLE.

They are not sitting down and they are not shutting up.
