This red-state Democrat just released an ad touting health care reform

Late last year, vulnerable Democratic candidates worried that deep problems with the health care law could sink their chances of keeping a majority in the Senate.

Now, suddenly, one red-state Democrat is praising the law in a new television ad — an indicator that public opinion of health care reform might have turned a corner.

In the ad, Sen. Mark Pryor and his father, former Sen. David Pryor, recount Mark Pryor's own bout with cancer and his struggle finding health insurance that would cover it.

"Mark's insurance company didn't want to pay for the treatment that ultimately saved his life," David Pryor says in the ad.

"No one should be fighting for an insurance company while you're fighting for your life," Mark Pryor adds. "That's why I helped pass a law that prevents insurance companies from canceling your policy if you get sick, or deny coverage for pre-existing conditions."

According to the Washington Post, Pryor's campaign will spend six figures to air the new ad.

If you have a contract with your insurance company where they promise to pay for something and then don’t pay, that’s a contract violation. One of the proper roles of government is enforcing contracts. You can do that with a two page bill. You don’t need to government to take over 1/6 of the economy to solve such a small problem.

Most likely, 0-Care won't pay for it either. If they have any money left over after paying for abortifacients and sex change operations, they'll think about it -- using the same geniuses running VA healthcare.
