New Ad Slams GOP For Aiming To Repeal ACA With No Replacement Yet

A healthcare advocacy group released a new ad Thursday with nurses and doctors painting a grave picture about what the repeal of the Affordable Care Act without a replacement could look like for patients.

The ad, created by the Alliance for Healthcare Security, aims to take Republicans in Congress to task for taking the first steps towards repealing the ACA without a visible replacement plan, a spokesman for the group said in a release.

“Congress has taken the first step toward blowing up the healthcare system without any plan whatsoever to replace it,” said Josh Dorner, Alliance for Healthcare Security spokesman. “Instead of more political games, Congress needs to produce a real replacement plan and tell us how they are going to pass it. The dangerous uncertainty that Congress is creating with its reckless repeal effort threatens to rip away care from millions and will send premiums soaring.”

One by one, doctors and nurses appear in the ad explaining how these actions could affect their patients.
