A new cable TV ad, running nationwide on CNN and in D.C. on all news channels, highlights the fact that Republicans want to repeal a law that provides regular people the same health benefits they receive as members of Congress.

“The Affordable Care Act gave your family the same health protections members of Congress get,” the ad says. “But Republicans want to take that protection away from your family.”

Complete with sad-looking baby in the background!

The segment was produced by the advocacy group Americans United for Change, and will run through Wednesday — after the House votes to repeal the health care law.
