...if there was money to pay for for a large-scale, pro-reform PR campaign. Unfortunately, the deep pockets that fund massive PR campaigns are typically for-profit corporations.

I finally quit listening to our excellent jazz station, KUVO, because I couldn't stomach the hourly "White House press briefings" that NPR sold as its"hourly news product". I think of them as "National Propaganda Radio". They've been "turned" to the Right, just as PBS has.
I am currently studying PR and I am wanting to go into this field of work. I agree with everything that was said in this post and I think that the reason behind healthcare reform not moving forward for so long does have something to do with PR people doing their jobs but I feel like it could also go the other way around. Where are all the PR professionals that could push for healthcare reform?
I just met with the top executives of a certain large insurance company. I was amazed to find out that even they have no idea of what or how to prepare for this bill because no one seems to understand the complexities involved and the variables that will change.
For instance I was surprised to learn that the 80/20 rule would not affect the insurance companies at all as they all are in compliance due to a little known portion of the bill that allows deductions for wellness programs. Yes the 80/20 rule will be offset (like tax write offs) by having wellness programs!
Good luck HCA!
Well this is an eye opener, you would think that a program as big as energystar would be a little more strict on approving products.
