Statement From Sharron Angle On Reid's False Ad

Statement

"Reid is trying to scare women into voting against me by making up facts out of thin air. His new attack ad makes a blatantly false claim that I tried to repeal a law that makes insurance companies cover mammograms.

"As a woman, I understand the fear of breast cancer in a way that Harry Reid never will. I've known many women who have been diagnosed, and families who have lost mothers, daughters and sisters to this horrible disease. I am disgusted that he is playing politics with the tragedy that is breast cancer. It's sick. If elected I will push for health care legislation that will reduce insurance costs and ensure high-quality care for all Americans. Harry Reid's campaign has hit a new low today, and trust me, for them, that's really saying something."

Sharron Angle has sponsored and voted for mammogram coverage in the Nevada State Legislature. (AB163, 42 Yea, 0 Nay, 2/9/99, Angle Voted Yea)
