AHIP is the powerful insurance lobby that spends 5 million dollars a week trying to kill health care reform. Billionaires for Wealthcare is a grassroots network looking to stop them - with song.
• AHIP and other insurance and HMO interests spend nearly $5 million per week undermining real health care reform, including a public option.
• AHIP has resorted to out-right lying and scare tactics to block health care reform. They sent letters that lie to seniors about what health care reform means for Medicare, and they issued a report on the costs of health care reform legislation that is so misleading even the reports embarrassed authors distanced themselves from the way AHIP used their work.
• Every year, 45,000 people die because they cant get access to the health care they need. Yet AHIP continues to stand in the way of health care reform that would provide coverage to millions of Americans because the industry is more concerned with protecting profits than saving lives.

No, thank you!
FOR KILLING THE PUBLIC OPTION

BUT WHAT ABOUT COMPETITION?
IT'S AN OLD AMERICAN TRADITION
OR SO I'VE HEARD?
SINGER #1
Meh.
SINGER #3
WHEN OLYMPIA SNOWE
SAID NO,
IT CROAKED
Right?
SINGER #2
NO, THE OPTION'S NOT DEAD
SINGER #3
OR RED!
SINGER #1
EXPLAIN!
Who let these hippies in here?
SINGERS #2 AND #3, and CHORUS MEMBERS
IF WE GET A PUB-
LIC OPTION
WE CAN SNIFF OUT WASTE
JUST LIKE A DACHSUND
COSTS COME DOWN!
SINGER #1
Hey, those "costs" are my profits!
SINGERS #2 AND #3, and CHORUS MEMBERS
THE OPTION
THE OPTION
THE PUBLIC WANTS OPTIONS
WITHOUT IT,
IT'S A GIVEAWAY
SINGER #1
Exactly. To us. Am I in the right room?
THE OPTION
THE OPTION
THE PUBLIC WANTS AN OPTION
SINGERS #2 AND #3, and CHORUS MEMBERS
OR REFORM IS A CORP'RATE GIVE-A-WAY!

Well, I've heard enough - my helicopter is parked in a handicap space.

@afferch: They also have the Republican party to back them up, with their Orwellian doublespeak and all.

@eddie68000: I agree..........there are a lot of people who do want the public option, and frankly, I hope the Republicans aren't able to pull any nasty tricks come November.
