NRCC Radio Ad: With ObamaCare Rollout Crashing, We Can’t Trust Ann Kirkpatrick to Fix Things
Radio Buy Targets Women Voters With Message About Kirkpatrick Protecting Her Healthcare Subsidy
WASHINGTON – The rollout of ObamaCare has been an epic disaster, and a new National Republican Congressional Committee radio ad highlights Ann Kirkpatrick’s role in the “train wreck” that is ObamaCare.
The ad, released today and targeted towards women voters in Kirkpatrick’s district, focused on her vote to keep her special ObamaCare subsidies while her constituents are stuck footing the bill. To make things worse, Arizona residents are also facing rising premiums and a website that is nothing short of a fiasco.
“Women in Arizona are sick and tired of Washington politicians like Ann Kirkpatrick getting taxpayer-funded healthcare, while they’re stuck with a disastrous ObamaCare website and rising premiums for their families,” said NRCC Communications Director Andrea Bozek. “This targeted radio buy allows us to speak directly to women, during the broadcasts they listen to, about how Kirkpatrick is using their money to pay for her own Cadillac coverage.”

VOICEOVER 1: This is so frustrating. I’m trying to sign up for the new government healthcare program and it just won’t work.
VOICEOVER 2: A lot of folks are having trouble with that.
VOICEOVER 1: They spent 500 million of our tax dollars to build it, and it won’t work.
VOICEOVER 2: And if you’re facing all these issues just signing up, imagine how difficult it could be to get medical care. Finding a doctor’s appointment will be a nightmare. And have you looked into how much your insurance premiums will rise?

VOICEOVER 2: She’s part of the problem! Kirkpatrick voted to keep special subsidies for Members of Congress.
VOICEOVER 1: Ann Kirkpatrick did?
VOICEOVER 2: Yep, Ann Kirkpatrick is using our tax dollars to fund her healthcare benefits.
VOICEOVER 1: That’s not right.
VOICEOVER 2: Typical Washington. Kirkpatrick protects her healthcare while our costs go up.
VOICEOVER 1: Maybe you should call her too.
VOICEOVER 2: Oh, I will. We all should. Call Ann Kirkpatrick at 928-213-9977. Tell her we’re sick of paying for her taxpayer-funded healthcare.
