I guess Obamacare is starting to look pretty good compared to the ZeroCare offered by GOP Tea-Baggers.

An independent group in Alaska is airing a TV ad that praises Democratic Sen. Mark Begich for helping people obtain insurance even if they have ‘‘pre-existing conditions,’’ such as cancer.

The 30-second ad doesn’t mention Obama or his health care law by name. But the narrator — an Alaska woman who says Begich helped her obtain insurance that previously was denied because of her breast cancer — highlights one of the law’s main features.

The ad is among the first, if not the first, to unapologetically associate a Democrat with the health care law in a tightly contested Senate race.

Begich joined all other Senate Democrats in voting for the measure in 2010, when not a single Republican lawmaker did so.
