In 1994, I was only 14. Access to health care was probably the last thing on my mind -- likely because I was fortunate enough to have access to adequate health care. So, I don't remember the Harry and Louise commercials of 1994. But for those of you who do, they're back, and they're calling for the presidential candidates to get serious on health care.
Here's a little reminder:
A group called the National Federation for Independent Business used these ads to oppose the Clinton healthcare plan. Now, they're working together with Families USA to tell the candidates to get serious about solving our health care problems. Check out the new ad here:
Harry and Louise have changed some since 1994, and clearly so has our political landscape when it comes to health care. Ads once paid for by health insurance companies are being re-created by the very same groups that used them to oppose health care reform to come to the table with unlikely allies to solve our problems.
This is the kind of change we need to see in America this fall and beyond. We're asking our leaders to invest in health care for everyone as well. Join us by clicking here.
