In the fight of his political life in 2014, Sen. Mark Pryor (D-AR) isn't running away from the controversy surrounding the Obama health law, as he has unveiled a new television ad which makes no bones about his support for some of the law's major changes.

"That's why I helped pass a law that prevents insurance companies from canceling your insurance policy if you get sick," Pryor said.

The ad begins with Pryor's father - the very popular former Senator and Governor David Pryor - talking about his son's battle with cancer.

Pryor's opponent, Rep. Tom Cotton (R-AR), has been a strident opponent of the Obama health law, and has tried repeatedly in the campaign to tie Pryor to the controversial health reform plan.

Recent polling has given Cotton a slight edge in this race.
