Joe Heck lit up Nevada inboxes this morning with an email headlined โThe Truth Behind Sebeliusโ Spin.โ
In it, the Heck campaign references Secretary Sebeliusโ visit to Las Vegas todayโpart of the Democratic โre-educationโ effort on health care, the mailer saysโand repeated Heckโs 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 โultimately 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 Nevadaโs seniors. This, Heck said, was โanother lie.โ A campaign staffer today told Battle โ10 she believes the senior vote will tilt Heckโs way on election day.
โIn 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.
