Rally Against the Insurance Industry

In Washington, DC on Tuesday, March 10th, hundreds of people rallied for real health care reform and against the insurance industry: http://www.healthcareforamericanow.org

America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), the main health insurance industry lobbyist group, was having a "health care reform" conference, trying to pay lip service to reform while at the same time, opposing the heart of President Obama's health care reform plan. We wanted to make sure America saw through the insurance industry's lies. They are the enemy of health care reform.

A broad coalition of reform supporters, from proponents of Obama's health care plan to single payer advocates, tried to present Karen Ignagni, AHIP's CEO, with an award for "Best Protector of Profits at the Expense of Our Health." She was too scared to face the crowd and accept the award, but Health Care for America Now will make sure it follows her around the country until she accepts.

Since the problem is WITH government, why is GOVERNMENT going to "fix" it? They won't. So stop your Obama worship and pay attention. None of the legislation offered fixes anything. All it does is ad more government to the problem while profiting the health insurance industry. READ THE BILL!!!
