These Ads Are Only The Beginning As Protect Our Care Makes Sure That Every American Knows Republicans Voted to Decimate American Health Care
Washington, D.C. – Protect Our Care is launching new ads in 10 Congressional Republican districts calling out their votes to pass the largest Medicaid cuts in history in order to fund massive tax breaks for the wealthiest people and corporations. This seven-figure ad campaign will hold lawmakers accountable for voting to slash the health care that over 100 million Americans count on in order to make the already-rich even richer. Because of them, millions of seniors, children, people with disabilities, and hardworking families will lose coverage and care, while hospitals and nursing homes shut down, working families face higher costs, thousands lose jobs, and states and local economies are left to suffer.
“These Republicans just voted for the largest health care cuts in history in order to fund tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations, and we’re going to make sure that every single one of their constituents knows it,” said Protect Our Care President Brad Woodhouse. “Not only will this bill rip health care from millions of hardworking Americans, it will drive up costs on the middle class, shutter hundreds of hospitals, leave children with disabilities and people fighting cancer without lifesaving care, and make a record increase in the number of uninsured Americans.”
“These Republicans betrayed their constituents and working Americans’ health care for billionaire tax cuts and we’re ready to go from the grassroots to the airwaves until every last one of them is held accountable.”
The ads will launch in the following districts: David Schweikert (AZ-01), David Valadao (CA-22), Young Kim (CA-40), Ken Calvert (CA-41), Nick LaLota (NY-01), Andrew Garbarino (NY-02), Mike Lawler (NY-17), Ryan Mackenzie (PA-07), Rob Bresnahan (PA-08), and Dan Newhouse (WA-04). The ads will run across high impact streaming platforms like Roku and YouTube and are a part of Protect Our Care’s ongoing $10-million-dollar “Hands Off Medicaid” campaign.

Sample Ad Script for AZ-01:
Narrator: Republicans in Congress promised not to cut Medicaid. But then…
Speaker Mike Johnson: “The bill is passed.”
Narrator: It’s the biggest cut to Medicaid in history. And Congressman David Schweikert just supported it. More than thirteen million Americans could lose health care – seniors, veterans, and children with disabilities.
Why’d he do it?
To give another huge tax break to billionaires and big corporations. Tell Congressman Schweikert – we can’t afford to have our health care taken away. Not now. Not ever.
