CheneyCare irks California Nurses

A recent Bill Moyers Journal program brought my attention to a California Nurses Association ad campaign called "CheneyCare."

The CNA says:

"All Americans have the right to the quality of care that our Vice-President, President and Congress already have," said Rose Ann DeMoro, Executive Director of CNA/NNOC and a vice-president of the AFL-CIO. “All the leading Democratic proposals fall well short of “CheneyCare”, keeping insurance companies at the apex of power and allowing them to deny care that can save lives. The Republican proposals are even worse.”

The ad uses recent headlines about Vice-President Dick Cheney’s latest heart procedure to point out the difference between the government-funded health care that the nation’s leading politicians enjoy and the precarious health care situation in which most Americans find themselves.
