WASHINGTON — Kamala Harris is launching a seven-figure ad blitz about health care targeting Donald Trump’s calls to replace the Affordable Care Act with a mystery plan he hasn’t yet released.
The ad campaign, first reported by NBC News, is aimed at elevating the issue and capitalizing on what polling says is a weakness for Trump. The new 60-second spot features Trump saying during his face-to-face debate with Harris that he has “concepts of a plan” to remake the U.S. health care system.
“You have no plan,” Harris tells Trump in the ad while touting her calls for protecting the ACA (or “Obamacare" ) and extending the Biden-Harris policies that expanded subsidies to buy coverage and capped the cost of insulin for seniors at $35 per month.
Her team has argued that Trump would simply eliminate the ACA, which would threaten coverage for the estimated 50 million people covered under the 2010 law by rescinding the subsidies to buy coverage, dismantling the marketplaces for Obamacare plans and undoing rules barring insurers from charging sick people more.
