WATCH: NEW DCCC AD KEEPS PRESSURE ON YOUNG’S RECORD OF JEOPARDIZING PROTECTIONS FOR IOWANS WITH PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS

The DCCC announces its latest TV ad in Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District. The ad “On the Line,” holds Rep. David Young accountable for his record of taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from insurance interests and then voting to penalize Iowans with pre-existing conditions like asthma, cancer and diabetes.

Rep. David Young has voted multiple times to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which would’ve allowed insurers to deny protections for those with pre-existing conditions. In 2017, he voted for the AHCA, which the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office and Politifact confirmed would gut protections for those with pre-existing conditions like asthma, cancer and diabetes.

“Rep. David Young has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from insurance interests, and then voted to allow them to charge people with pre-existing conditions more,” said DCCC spokesperson Rachel Irwin. “Make no mistake, Iowans will remember this fall that when their healthcare was on the line, Young sided with his party bosses and special interest friends over them.”

Along with voting for the AHCA, Young voted for the GOP Tax Scam that prioritized tax cuts for his wealthy donors while repealing a key provision of the ACA that will force Iowans to pay more in premiums for healthcare. Young’s vote opened the door for the GOP and the Trump administration to seek a lawsuit dismantling protections for those with pre-existing conditions, like asthma, cancer and diabetes, in federal court.

Script:

Asthma, diabetes, cancer.

If you have a pre-existing condition you could pay higher premiums or lose healthcare coverage all together with David Young in Washington.

Young supports a plan that would gut protections for pre-existing conditions, leaving Iowans with massive medical bills.

Young took thousands in campaign cash from the insurance industry, and voted their way.

Even with our health coverage on the line.

We can’t trust David Young.
