Republican former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie has a new ad in the New Jersey gubernatorial race, firing back at an ad by Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine that accused Christie of wanting to allow insurance companies to drop mammogram coverage for women. The ad was based on Christie’s support of cheaper, mandate-free health insurance policies.
In the new ad, Christie talks about his own family experience, how his mother battled breast cancer that was detected early through a mammogram. “So the idea that somebody who was able to keep their mother for an extra twenty years would ever deny another woman in this state the opportunity to get a mammogram is just so deceitful,” Christie says. “It is awful for the Governor to desperately hold onto power by scaring people.”
