Lobbies backing health reforms
12/03/08
From the Boston Globe:
Doubtful that the healthcare industry will sacrifice profits for a more efficient and inclusive system, Health Care for America Now, a coalition of mostly left-leaning groups - including MoveOn.org, the massive liberal grassroots organization - is preparing for a multimillion dollar public relations campaign to push through health reform.
"We bring a lot of skepticism to some of the posture that the insurance industry and the small-business community and the drug companies have taken in terms of their professed support for reform," said Richard Kirsch, the national director of the group, which issued a statement challenging AHIP's new proposal yesterday, even before today's announcement.
