On Health Care: AdWatch: Hagan promised wrongly that all can keep insurance

Three Senate Democrats are the target of a new multimillion-dollar ad campaign over their support for ObamaCare. Americans for Prosperity, a conservative group backed by the billionaire Koch brothers, will launch ads this week against Democratic Sens. Kay Hagan (NC), Jeanne Shaheen (NH) and Mary Landrieu (LA).

The group is planning to spend $2.5 million to air the ads in major media markets in those states for three weeks. Last fall, Americans for Prosperity spent $16 million on ads attacking ObamaCare. The new ads play off Obama's vow that people who like their health insurance plans can keep them. "I was shocked when I got the notice that my health care policy was canceled," says a Chapel Hill resident, in the ad targeting Hagan. "Kay Hagan told us, if you like your insurance plan and your doctors, you can keep them. That just wasn't true."

Hagan's campaign released a statement calling the AFP ad a "new smear" and decrying the outside money being spent in North Carolina.
