Obama backs Health Care for America Now
10/06/08
From The Politico:
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has signed on to the progressive Health Care
for America Now campaign’s principles – a move that bolsters the clout
of the nascent organization and could provide him with artillery
support as he starts to pound the health-care issue on the presidential
campaign trail.
With the $700-billion economic recovery bill now law, Obama has turned
his sights on health care. This weekend, he delivered a health-care
reform speech in Virginia and launched an ad
critical of McCain’s health reform plan. Health Care for America’s
announcement adds more amps to an emerging campaign theme.
Obama’s endorsement of the group’s principles is not altogether surprising. They closely mirror Obama’s health-reform platform.
