In fact, he has gone on record in several articles and public forums saying that he will support pre-existing conditions and keeping young adults on their parents' plans until they turn 26. <br /><br />Wild's ad is an old Demoncrat scare tactic that uses a reoccurring lie. Casey is failing at this in his malicious attack ad versus Barletta's family, and I have no doubt Wolf will try it on Wagner in the coming weeks. News flash...Republicans have not and will not make those cuts.
