Donald Trump Voter Stars in A Pro-Obamacare Political Ad

Posted on
February 24, 2017
by Andrew Cullen
A group pressuring members of Congress to vote against repealing Obamacare has been running political ads across the country – but these ads don’t focus on any of the actual politicians voting. Instead, the state-specific ads feature local stories of people who would suffer dearly if Congress repealed Obamacare without an equivalent replacement.

Each of the ads features its own heartbreaking story – but even still, with such a fraught political issue as healthcare, it’s hard to completely separate the partisan aspects of Obamacare.

In an effort to extend an olive branch to Trump-country Americans who may benefit from Obamacare – but still want it repealed – Save My Care’s latest ad stars Dennis, a self-identified Trump voter who relies on the coverage he receives from Obamacare to treat his esophageal cancer.

Dennis’s Story

The ad opens with a shot of a shopping center in Hixson, Tennessee – a picturesque American small town. Then we meet Dennis, who owns a small barbershop – and it’s no Super Cuts. Dennis, who has a deer head trophy mounted on his wall, sticks to old school scissor and straight razor cuts.

“I’m a Republican. I voted for Trump.” Dennis says, right at the ad’s onset.

“I love my popsi from here to Knoxville,” Dennis’s young grandson chimes in.

“I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer,” Dennis continues. “A lot of people think that people who are on the Affordable Care Act are gaming the system. It’s just people like me. The Affordable Care Act saved my life.”

Then we see Dennis’s grandson again – now sitting in the barber’s chair with shaving cream all over his face as Dennis runs the backside of a straight razor on his cheek, mimicking shaving.

“Everybody’s popsi should get the care they need,” he says enthusiastically.

What’s the Status of Repeal and Replace?

President Donald Trump has a comprehensive plan on how to repeal and replace Obamacare that has been in the final stages since last October… so he says.

If you are skeptical of that claim, then you are in good company. Former Speaker of the House, John Boehner scoffed at the idea that Congress has a complete plan to adequately repeal and replace Obamacare.

In fact, Boehner doesn’t think any meaningful repeal will happen at all. Speaking at a health care conference in Orlando, Florida Thursday, Boehner speculated that Congress wouldn’t be able to repeal the act because lawmakers have still yet to settle on a viable replacement to get behind.

So it looks like despite what Trump has said about a great new health care plan that is supposedly nearing completion, the Republican-led Congress is no closer to repealing and replacing Obamacare than they were under President Obama.
