Joe Heck lit up Nevada inboxes this morning with an email headlined โ€œThe Truth Behind Sebeliusโ€™ Spin.โ€

In it, the Heck campaign references Secretary Sebeliusโ€™ visit to Las Vegas todayโ€“part of the Democratic โ€œre-educationโ€ effort on health care, the mailer saysโ€“and repeated Heckโ€™s oft-stated objections to Obamacare, based in part on cuts to Medicare and the termination of Medicare Advantage.

Heck, a physician and business owner, posits that looming Medicare cuts are calculated at $1.05 trillion over the first 10 years, and $4.95 trillion over the first 20 years. He says health care reform will โ€œultimately raid the safety net services our government is obligated to pay seniors.โ€

Rep. Dina Titus has claimed there will not be a reduction in benefits for Nevadaโ€™s seniors. This, Heck said, was โ€œanother lie.โ€ A campaign staffer today told Battle โ€˜10 she believes the senior vote will tilt Heckโ€™s way on election day.

โ€œIn November, Nevadans will remember this bill as their premiums rise, benefits cease to exist, and our seniors lose valuable options,โ€ said Heck spokesperson Mari Nakashima.

Many Nevada voters favor repeal of the health care reform bill; the numbers range between the high 40s and high 50s depending on how the question is posed.
