The Insurance Industry Comes to Rhode Island - Crash Their Party!

We’ve been following the health insurance industry, represented by America’s Health Insurance Plans, around the country, telling the real story and deriding AHIP’s “listening tour” as nothing more than cheap propaganda.

First, we were there in Ohio, where Kim from SEIU asked AHIP’s CEO Karen Ignagni what she thought of health care CEOs making millions while Americans get denied the health care they need.

We were there when AHIP tried to hide their events, giving out no notice to the public even as they professed they were committed to “listening” to the public.

We were there during AHIP’s virtual stops at the Democratic and Republican conventions, bombarding them with over 1,700 questions you submitted - which they refused to answer.

And we were there in New Mexico, getting the industry to admit they aren’t for real reform because they have to make a profit.

Tomorrow, we’ll be following AHIP to Rhode Island, to unmask their propaganda. If you live near Providence, come by a join us:

Come Rally for “QUALITY, AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL, NOT INSURANCE PROFITS” outside of the America’s Health Insurance Plan’s “Listening Tour” stop.

The health insurance industry is doing a national “listening tour” around the country in an attempt to convince Americans that private, for-profit insurers want to fix the health care crisis. Health Care for American Now believes that private for-profit insurers are a major part of the problem - denying claims for legitimate care, and denying coverage to those with pre-existing conditions - and that a real solution to the health care crisis has to include real serious regulation of the insurance industry to make sure that health care for people, not insurance profits, come first.

Join us as we “take the mask off” the insurance industry’s effort to express concern about the health care crisis.

When:
Tomorrow, Friday, September 26th at 12:00 pm

Where:
Outside the Foundry Building
235 Promenade Street
Providence, RI 02908

We’ll see you there!
