As the Obama administration pushes for health care reform this year, a new poll commissioned by the Change to Win, a coalition of labor unions, shows that most Americans (62 percent) support reforming the nation's health care system now.
A coalition of more than 1,000 progressive organizations, including Change to Win, Health Care For America Now (HCAN), and LCCR, have launched a national campaign to ensure real health care reform legislation passes this year, capitalizing on public support for a system that would provide quality health care to all Americans. It is the largest progressive issue campaign in history.
"We need healthcare for America now that lowers the income, racial, ethnic, language, gender, and disability barriers to access to health insurance and quality health care providers. We need coverage reform that is affordable for everyone and we need delivery reform that reaches into every neighborhood, and does it with care that works for every community," said Wade Henderson, president and CEO of LCCR.
