NRCC Launches Obamacare “Death Spiral” Digital Campaign; Releases Paid Web Video

February 23, 2017

The National Republican Congressional Committee today launched a new Obamacare “Death Spiral” digital campaign. In its first installment, they released a paid web video, “Death Spiral”, highlighting the problems with former President Obama’s failed healthcare law.

“Democrats are hoping that a small vocal minority drown out the millions who have repeatedly called for dismantling the disaster that is Obamacare,” said NRCC Communications Director Matt Gorman.

“This law is rapidly failing and Democrats are blindly protecting it as Americans face higher premiums and fewer choices.”
