AFL-CIO mobilises against health insurance lobby

In the past week the AFL-CIO reports that more than 10,000 activists across the US have contacted their insurance companies to demand that they stop denying care and stop using the premiums of scheme members to lobby against health insurance reform.

The AFL-CIO has asked the insurance commissioners in Connecticut, Indiana, New York and Pennsylvania to investigate how insurance company lobbying costs are affecting health insurance premiums.
