Big Insurance vs. Quality, Affordable Health Care; Which side are you on?

Published by Ross Wallen at 5:03 pm under Health care, USAction

Insurance profits are bad for our health! from www.ccag.net

Today America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), the lobbying arm of the insurance companies, comes to Washington, DC for a conference just as they have elevated themselves as the chief opponent of meaningful health care reform. And you can join a huge action happening tomorrow outside the AHIP conference.

We are planning to have hundreds of people from labor, community and online groups join seven people who have been harmed by the insurance industry to march in support of quality, affordable healthcare. The health insurance industry has been spending more than a million dollars a day since July, so we must show that grassroots power can overcome big lobby money to win victories that benefit people and not profits in our nation’s Capital.

As AHIP conspires to stifle reform, gut any regulation and to further profit from Americans seeking health care, you can voice your support for comprehensive health care reform with a public option on Thursday afternoon just outside their conference at the Capital Hilton. We’ll meet at the AFL-CIO headquarters at  815 16th St., NW, at 2:30 p.m. and march to the Capital Hilton. You can RSVP to attend here.
