Ignagni joins ad sponsors at press conference
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) today welcomed a new ad campaign by a broad stakeholder coalition that urges the next president and Congress to put health care reform at the top of the national agenda.
Sponsored by the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, the American Hospital Association, the Catholic Health Association, Families USA and the National Federation of Independent Business, the ads feature the fictional characters Harry and Louise.
Appearing with the sponsor organizations at a news conference at the National Press Club, AHIP President and CEO Karen Ignagni applauded their focus on cooperation and consensus building.
"We fully support this campaign because the seeds of workable reform are planted in efforts like this: diverse stakeholders from across the spectrum working together to find common ground," Ignagni said.
"Over the past two years, AHIP's Board of Directors has developed a range of comprehensive policy proposals to ensure that all Americans have access to affordable, high-quality health care. Our plan is coverage you can afford, coverage you can keep, coverage for all Americans," said Ignagni.
"While offering solutions is important, we know that real progress will not happen unless stakeholders reach out and work together. That's why we are pleased to be here to lend our support as the AHA, the American Cancer Society, the Catholic Health Association, Families USA and NFIB come together to launch this new campaign," said Ignagni.
