AMA launches healthcare campaign - Los Angeles Times

AMA launches healthcare campaign - Los Angeles Times: "The American Medical Assn., seeking to influence the healthcare debate in the 2008 election, kicked off a three-year, multimillion-dollar ad campaign at a news conference Thursday to promote its plan to provide health coverage for the estimated 45 million people in America who lack insurance. The AMA, which represents about 250,000 physicians, proposes the use of tax credits or vouchers to help people buy health insurance. It also supports increasing federal funding for such government programs as the State Children's Health Insurance Program."
