On Health Care: AdWatch: Promised wrongly that all can keep insurance

The deep-pocketed Americans for Prosperity on Thursday morning unveiled a major ObamaCare air offensive against three Democratic senators up for reelection in November. The group will begin airing 30-second ads this week targeting Sens. Mary Landrieu (LA), Kay Hagan (NC) and Jeanne Shaheen (NH). The total ad buy is north of $2.5 million and the spots will run for three weeks in each state's major media markets, AFP said.

The Landrieu spot ties the Louisiana senator to President Barack Obama's rhetoric about Americans being able to keep their health care plans under the Affordable Care Act.

In 2013, AFP spent millions on ads targeting Landrieu and Hagan and in 2014 is including Shaheen in its barrage. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee arm sent out a flurry of fundraising emails as 2013 wound down warning about the spending of groups like AFP, which is backed by the conservative billionaire Koch brothers.
