Health reform group launches $12 million TV ad campaign

An unusual coalition of groups, including American Medical Association; the Federation of American Hospitals; the drug industry group, PhRMA, the service employees’ union SEIU, and the FamiliesUSA, a health reform advocacy group has launched an $12 million TV ad campaign called for the enactment of health-care reform.

On its Web site the group, Americans for Stable Quality Health Care, says it:

“…advocates for policies that will end the roller coaster nightmare that health care has become for too many Americans who get sick, lose their jobs, move or experience another significant change in life.

“Our supporters have come together to make the case for health care reform. Through television advertising and other advocacy tactics, we seek to call Americans to action and demand that Washington enact reforms that will make health care more affordable and more stable for all.”
