We can’t trust the insurance industry with health care reform!

Posted on April 17th, 2010 by admin

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.

Tea Party Challenges Costa & Cardoza’s Corrupt Buy-off for Health Care Votes

Posted on April 14th, 2010 by admin

Sarah Bond with the Southern California Tax Revolt Coalition, home of the San Diego Tea Party, joins Fox Business News as it covers the House healthcare vote for reconciliation on March 21, 2010. The focus is the extremes Congressional leaders and the Administration have gone to in order to secure yes votes. Congressmen Costa & Cardoza of California are singled out for allowing the Administration to hold Central Valley water allocations hostage in exchange for their yes votes. What kind of “nation” withholds vital natural resources like WATER from its own people to get it’s way? Not the America we all remember.
