Today, the DCCC launched its second TV ad in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, “Truth About Bacon,” which highlights why Nebraskans trust Kara Eastman to protect their health care over Don Bacon.
Bacon has voted ‘Hell Yes’ to gut protections for pre-existing conditions and institute an Age Tax, and backed efforts to repeal the ACA even in the middle of a global pandemic, all while accepting more than $269,000 from the insurance industry.
But while Don Bacon’s record shows he doesn’t know what everyday Nebraskans face, after her mother was asked to pay $2,500 for a single pill while battling cancer for the 5th time, Kara Eastman knows firsthand the struggles facing countless Nebraska families. This is personal for Kara and in Congress, she’ll fight for a just health care system where no one has to make the choice between getting care or feeding their families.

“Funded by corporate special interests, Congressman Don Bacon has been a steady vote to gut protections for pre-existing conditions, even in the middle of a global pandemic,” said DCCC Spokesperson Sarah Guggenheimer. “Kara Eastman is a steadfast and determined advocate for health care in her community. In Congress, she’ll work to improve coverage and lower costs, providing Nebraskans with the leadership they deserve.”
Ad script:
NARRATOR: The truth is…
Don Bacon has bragged that he was voting “Hell Yes,” on a bill to gut protections for pre-existing conditions.
With thousands of Nebraskans losing employer provided health care, who’s Don Bacon really looking out for?
Kara Eastman believes that healthcare is a human right. No one should have to make a choice between getting medical care or feeding their families.
The truth is Don Bacon is bad for our community.
Kara Eastman will serve us better in Congress.
