The Harry Reid campaign has a new ad against Sharron Angle, continuing their recent line of attack over her opposition to mandating that insurance companies cover various procedures — in this case, mammograms.

The ad features a woman named Barbara Trznadel, talking about how a mammogram detected her breast cancer.

Then the narrator cuts in: “In the Assembly, Sharron Angle tried to repeal the law that makes insurance companies cover mammograms. She wouldn’t even cover mammograms.”

The ad then goes back to Trznadel: “If insurance companies don’t cover the cost of mammograms, fewer women will get them — and more women will die.”

The TPM Poll Average currently puts Reid ahead by 47.7%-45.2%.
