HEALTH CARE REFORM IS NEITHER GONE NOR FORGOTTEN

At least 4 groups are going to push hard for reform before May 2009. Locally, I know that ACORN will also be making a push for reform, although that may be funded by one of the other groups.

Reporting from Washington -- Four leading advocacy groups representing business, labor and retirees are starting a campaign today to press Barack Obama to enact comprehensive healthcare reform, upping the pressure on the president-elect to tackle the issue quickly after he takes office.

In a letter to Obama, the Business Roundtable, the National Federation of Independent Businesses, AARP and the Service Employees International Union urge that a healthcare overhaul be a priority in the administration's first 100 days.


The groups plan to spend nearly $1 million to publicize their cause in newspaper and television advertising in coming weeks.
