MoveOn.Org Releases Two Pro-Ossoff, Anti-Trump Videos in #GA6
MoveOn.Org has released two videos urging voters to stand against President Trump’s desire to make changes to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) by voting for Jon Ossoff.
Of note, the “Void” video shows the Georgia Hospital Association (GHA) as an ally of MoveOn.Org and Ossoff in standing against changes to ACA. It is interesting that the GHA is standing against the GOP in this race, while at the same time asking for support from Republican Speaker David Ralston and Republican Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle to back Medicaid Expansion 2.0.

That first ad is the one I had hoped someone would run. Healthcare should be a big issue in this district. Its somewhat in conflict with Karen Handel’s position.
As a side note to DC republicans…if you are going to record robocalls for Karen Handel…might want to pronounce her name correctly.
BTW, Trump doesnt want to change the ACA. He has said on several occasions he wants to repeal it. Problem is he cant replace it, and neither can Paul Ryan.
Did any of you know this? These are the people that ran the Ossoff/Al Jazeera ad
Ironically, the Super PAC, called the Congressional Leadership Fund, is chaired by former Minnesota Republican Sen. Norm Coleman — a registered lobbyist for Saudi Arabia, home of 15 of the 19 September 11 hijackers and one of the countries most responsible for exporting extremism.
Sounds a bit on the hypocritical side
MoveOn.org, the public policy advocacy group and political action committee, has made an unauthorized use of the Georgia Hospital Association (GHA) logo in its online political ad called “The Void.” The video misrepresents the concerns GHA recently shared with our congressional delegation regarding the American Health Care Act (AHCA), legislation that was pulled from consideration by the U.S. House of Representatives on March 24, 2017.
The Georgia Hospital Association denounces the online advertisement from MoveOn.org and its unauthorized use of the GHA logo, a fact that is being communicated to that organization along with a formal request to remove our logo from the ad.
The MoveOn.org ad implies that GHA is aligned with the Ossoff for Congress Campaign in opposition to the AHCA, an assertion that has been furthered by other online media sources. Although we are interested in the outcome of the special election, GHA has not endorsed a candidate in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District race. The same is true of our national organization, the American Hospital Association, which makes appropriate campaign contributions on behalf of Georgia’s hospitals with guidance from GHA. Furthermore, GHA continues to work with both Republican and Democrat policymakers toward the mutual goal of protecting Georgia’s patients and ensuring that all citizens of Georgia have access to quality health care services.
GHA is proud to serve as an unbiased resource to Georgia’s state leadership and congressional delegation as they consider options to improve our complex health care system, including potential changes to the Affordable Care Act. With the help of our member hospitals, we will continue to analyze the impact of any state or federal health reform legislation and voice our concerns about any proposals that would result in additional payment cuts to providers or less affordable coverage options for Georgians.
