SEANC ad targets Holliman

Another SEANC ad targets Rep. Hugh Holliman.

The State Employees Association of North Carolina is running a radio ad criticizing the Democratic Majority Leader for supporting a temporary fix to the State Health Plan.

"Hugh Holliman has his priorities wrong," the ad says. "He's part of the problem when he needs to be part of the solution. Maybe it's time for new leadership in the North Carolina legislature."

It also quotes the editorial board of the Greenville Daily Reflector, which said "lawmakers should be ashamed" and called the health plan bill "unconscionable."

Another SEANC ad criticizes Rep. Margaret Dickson for supporting the bill.

After the jump, the script.

—————

Health care costs are skyrocketing. More people are uninsured and even more are under-insured. If we're not in a crisis yet, we soon will be.

So what's House Majority Leader Hugh Holliman doing about it? Not a thing.

In fact, he's cutting benefits and raising premiums for the State Health Plan. One newspaper says "lawmakers should be ashamed," that the plan is "unconscionable in this economic climate." Holliman's plan will put increased burden on North Carolina families that are already struggling to make ends meet.

The State Health Plan needs to be fixed. That means providing better overage for more people. Hugh Holliman has his priorities wrong. He's part of the problem when he needs to be part of the solution. Maybe it's time for new leadership in the North Carolina legislature.

Paid for by the working families of SEANC.
