Health Care for America Now (HCAN) - the nation's largest health care campaign - launched a new television ad today to publicly thank Representative Mary Jo Kilroy (OH-15) for her historic 'yes' vote on the House of Representatives' health care bill - the Affordable Health Care for America Act (H.R. 3962).
The ad titled "About More" will air in the Columbus media market. The ad is one of more than twenty airing nationwide to show appreciation to Members of Congress who have done the right thing in voting 'yes' to pass health care legislation through the House and to emphasize the importance of Members continuing to hold strong as health insurance lobbyists and other opponents of meaningful reform are sure to ramp up their attacks in the coming weeks.
"We're very proud of Congresswoman Kilroy for standing up to the health insurance industry and other special interests and doing what's right for the people of her district. Her historic vote to pass health care legislation through the House means we are one step closer to having good health care we can afford," said Brian Rothenberg from Progress Ohio. "With her vote, Congresswoman Kilroy has said yes to lower health care costs, yes to a guarantee of good, affordable coverage, yes to stopping health insurance companies from denying care, and yes to the real choice and competition we'll get with a new national public health insurance option."
