From NBC's Lauren Appelbaum and Domenico Montanaro Clinton turns her focus back on health care in a new ad in New Hampshire. The 30-second spot "Guard" highlights Clinton's experience and her efforts to work across the aisle. With brassy presidential music in the background, Clinton discusses her work to get health care coverage for National Guard and Reserve members. That this is running in New Hampshire shows this may be an appeal to Independents and tries to dissuade the stereotypes and caricatures of Hillary Clinton of the 1990s. “So I reached across the aisle and worked for three years with Senator Lindsey Graham , a Republican, to change that," Clinton says. "Now every member of the Guard and Reserve has access to the health coverage they need. I've learned if you want to get things done, you have to know when to stand your ground, and when to find common ground."
