Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.), the talent DCCC recruiter who’s trying to avoid a wave election defeat this year, puts up the first Democratic ad I’ve seen in a while that actually promotes components of the Affordable Care Act.
The tense he uses is sort of interesting. He’s fighting to “stop insurance companies abuses like denying people who pre-existing conditions, and force them to cover routine check-ups and mammograms.” Those are both things that the Act he voted for is scheduled to do. So why not take credit for helping pass the bill?
