Working America – the 1.5 million member community affiliate of the AFL-CIO – has launched “The Health Care Hustle”. It’s a web site and public information campaign that lets workers share their health care hardship stories. Working America’s Karen Nussbaum says it will identify the worst health care hustlers who are profiting from a system that’s failing America’s families…

[Nussbaum 1]: “We want to make sure Americans know that the mess our health care system is in is not a natural disaster. It's the result of decisions made by special interests and corporations and the politicians who do their bidding."

Nussbaum says understanding who benefits from the current broken system and how they profit from it are key to understanding the need for real reform that creates a universal national health care plan.

[Nussbaum 2]: “This about how we're gonna reform the system. It's not about saying that we're gonna reform it. It's gotta be about the real details. And people will not be equipped to be skeptical if they don't understand what the opposition stands to gain by keeping the system as it is."
