Washington  D.C. – As  major health care reform proposed by President Obama 
takes shape in Congress,  Americans United for Change unveiled a new 
television ad highlighting the fact  that _62 percent of the American public_ 
(http://www.diageohotlinepoll.com/)   supports President Obama’s plans to reform 
health care, which includes giving  people a choice between keeping the 
health plan they have or joining a public  health insurance plan. The spot 
titled “62%” will air on cable through the end  of the week in the Washington 
D.C. media market.  *See script  below. 
Tom  McMahon, Acting Executive Director,  Americans United for Change:  “
The American people are overwhelming behind  President Obama's calls for major 
health care reform that gives everyone a  choice between keeping the health 
plan they already have or a public health  insurance plan. Yet the 
Republicans in Congress aren’t listening. They’re  standing in the way of progress, 
saying no to the 62% who back President  Obama’s overhaul efforts. The 
American public realizes it’s time to give  everyone quality, affordable health 
care. It’s time for the Republicans to  figure it out.” 
Celinda Lake, Pollster, Lake Research Partners:  “The  American public 
overwhelmingly supports a choice of a public or private plan.  Seventy-three 
percent favor that choice, and that’s no small number. That  number should grab 
the attention of any member of  Congress.” 
Richard Kirsch,  National Campaign Manager, _Health Care for America  Now_ 
(http://www.healthcareforamericanow.org/) : “It’s time Congress do what’s 
best for patients and  reject the influence of special interests who will 
continue to put their  corporate profits before people’s health. We need a 
strong national public  health insurance option that is available on day one. 
Only a public health  insurance option will achieve President Obama’s two 
goals of controlling costs  and keeping the insurance companies honest.” 

### 
SCRIPT:  62%

In the Senate, they call sixty percent support  a “super” majority.

A new poll shows sixty-two percent of Americans  support the President’s 
plan to reform health care.

That means lowering  costs, so everyone has access to quality, affordable 
care. Protecting your  choice of doctor. Letting you choose between keeping 
the private insurance you  have, and a public health insurance plan.

So if the Republicans in  Congress ignore what sixty-two percent of 
support, you gotta wonder: Who are  they listening to?
