New Martha McSally ad says she's "leading the fight" to "force insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions."

She voted for the AHCA, which undid Obamacare and included waivers that'd let insurance companies charge more for pre-ex conditions.

As others note: There’s no “fight” to force insurers to cover pre-ex conditions. ACA already establishes that they cannot charge sick people more & must cover a set of benefits. The “fight” is over whether to keep those regs (as Ds want) or loosen them (as Rs like McSally want).

NEW from Phoenix: McSally's distortive TV ad about pre-existing conditions draws a rebuke from Sinema. Health care is dominating the final stretch of 2018.

To channel ... 8 years of repeal efforts and rather than argue for their alternate vision (fewer mandates, lower costs for healthier ppl), Republicans have rhetorically conceded the premise of ACA.
Pre-ex rules aren't ancillary to the dispute, they're central to it.

I hear things like 'everyone agrees on pre-existing conditions and the debate is about the rest of Obamacare.' Sorry, that's gibberish. It's policy-illiterate and ignores the fact that conservative alternatives in Congress universally cut down on those regulations.

Should note: there isn't a fight to force insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions. That's what the ACA does.

The ACA already forces insurers to protect #PreExistingConditions.
@RepMcSally said "Let's get this f****** thing done" before voting to repeal the ACA and eliminate those protections, threatening the care of medically complex kids.
And now she's lying about it to our faces.

Addiction is a preexisting condition.
Addiction treatment is an essential health benefit.
Medicaid covers nearly 40% of adults with an opioid addiction.
All of it is in the GOP’s cross-hairs today.
McSally is a Liar.
