The ad, “Get This,” highlights the support that Lea Marquez Peterson has received from the Republican establishment and insurance interests, and how in return she supports their plan to charge older Americans five times more for their health care that the AARP calls an Age Tax.
“Lea Marquez Peterson has shown she will side with the special interests that fund her campaigns and their agenda that rewards big corporations, even if it hurts working families in her district. Older Arizonans cannot afford Lea Marquez Peterson and the age tax that she supports charging them for their health care.” – DCCC Spokesperson Jacob Peters
Script:
They tax food. Gas. Cars. Now some politicians want to tax — older Arizonans. Like Lea Marquez-Peterson. Handpicked by Washington Republicans and bankrolled by insurance interests… She supported allowing them to impose what the AARP calls an “age tax” — charging older Arizonans five times more for their care. Lea Marquez-Peterson. Big breaks for the fat cats. An age tax — on you.
