First there was Hillarycare. We have to get universal health care. Then there was Obamacare. Moves us in the direction of universal health care coverage in this country. We can't afford Trumpcare. Everybody's gotta be covered. This is an un-Republican thing for me to say. Universal health care? I'm going to take care of everybody. Who pays for it? The government's gonna pay for it. Donald, don't you know Hillarycare, Obamacare and Trumpcare are government-run health care? Keep The Promise I is responsible for the content of this advertising.

Note

This ad from Keep the Promise I, a super PAC supporting Ted Cruz, which aired widely in South Carolina leading up the primary there, claims that " Trump supports a government-run health care program in which Washington pays for everybody." PolitiFact rules this claim as "False," because the footage in the ad was selectively edited to misrepresent Trump's position.

Each ad has its own canonical web page (sample here), and associated downloadable metadata. Some metadata are added by the Internet Archive; some generated via the media itself (such as count of ads, how many times an ad has aired, etc.); and some come from our partners.
