Standing Up To The Insurance Lobby in Ohio
07/21/08 | Comment (3)
As Levana noted earlier, a group called American's Health Insurance Plans, an insurance industry front group, is launching a campaign to convince America that they are indeed satisfied with their private insurance coverage.
The idea that Americans can be satisfied with the current state of health care in America is silly. Americans aren't satisfied with rising prices, yet lower coverage. We aren't satisfied with the insurance industry's murder-by-spreadsheet. We need a public option for health insurance, and we need to make sure insurance industry practices that kill Americans are made illegal.
We are fighting back against the insurance industry tomorrow.
Tomorrow, in Ohio, AHIP will be launching their campaign and hosting a "discussion group among a group of uninsured people." HCAN will be there, along with our partners, protesting the insurance company practices and making sure people and the media know exactly how the insurance industry fails America. AHIP will be bringing their spin. We're hitting back with the facts.
If you're in Columbus, Ohio, or if you know anyone in the area, and would like to help us, sign up to attend the event here.
We need all the help we can get to take on the multi-billion dollar insurance industry. They will be using all their money and all their political connections to protect their profits and keep America's health care situation in critical condition. If you can come out to the event tomorrow, it would be greatly appreciated.
