From January to July, Democrats spent some $17 million for 56,000 health care ads on behalf of Senate candidates, according to USA Today.

The Wesleyan Media Project reported that 44% of all the ads for congressional Democrats focused on health care. In Senate races, half of the ads were on health care, and another 16% on prescription drug costs.

"Democrats are really focusing the bulk of their messaging on health care as their signature issue," said Erika Franklin Fowler, co-director of the Wesleyan Media Project.

And the bulk of these ads consist of claims that Republicans want to take away protections for pre-existing conditions. In one, a constituent asks why anyone would vote "to let insurance companies go back to denying coverage for pre-existing conditions."

Democrats know that this issue polls well. But the attacks both exaggerate the problem and distort the Republican's approach to health care reform.
