The goal of this event is to highlight the worst abuses of the health insurance industry, thereby putting pressure on congressional targets to support a public health insurance option.

The biggest threat to the public health i...(more)nsurance option is private insurance companies, who are spending $1.4 million a day lobbying Congress to block real reform. Insurance companies have made $60 billion over the last eight years alone, and they know that a public health insurance option would force them to compete and drive costs down. Much of the insurance industry's profit comes from denying people coverage--even people who currently have insurance. By shining a bright light on the worst abuses of the insurance industry, we will pressure our targets to stand with their constituents, not the insurance industry lobbyists.

YES! I'll be there!
