The Health Care for America Now campaign launched last Tuesday with the aim of applying pressure on Congress and the next president to reform the current system in 2009. The coalition, led by groups such as ACORN, Campaign for America\u2019s Future, and Planned Parenthood, is planning a 25 million dollar national advertising blitz over the next five months to mobilize millions of Americans around the issue. Health Care for America Now will be publicly demanding quality, affordable health care for all &#8211; however, the campaign is not a single-payer system.
