A health care advocacy group launched a multi-million dollar campaign in Atlanta today to press for reforming the American health care system.
Health Care for America Now is a coalition of more than 100, primarily left-of-center groups calling for cheaper and more comprehensive health insurance and health care.
Larry Pellegrini of the Georgia Rural Urban Summit, says the coalition plans to invest $40 million dollars to get their point across nationwide:
"…which would actually make it one of the largest, if not the largest campaign on a single issue that's ever been formed. The funding is already obtained, and we intend to make it an investment in reforms that will satisfy the needs of the people."The group is touting a 10-point plan they want to see on the national agenda, including universal health care, a choice of private or public coverage, and equal access to treatment.
Organizers say their supporters include labor unions, women's and minority groups, medical practitioners, and small-business associations.
