An AFL-CIO affiliate has launched a web site to “unmask the real players behind our nation’s broken healthcare system and to bring healthcare consumers together as a powerful force for change,” according to a statement by the labor union. Visitors to the Health Care Hustle site at www.workingamerica.org/healthcarehustle/ are invited to “vent online about their own healthcare horror stories” through April. They are also urged to send a message to the special interest they hold most responsible “for the sorry state of the system: Big Pharma, the Insurance Industry, Greedy Corporations, or Bush & Co.” Working America, the community affiliate of the AFL-CIO for workers who do not have a union, will tally the messages, with each message counting as one vote, and will target the winner in a campaign intended to get “powerful interests who don’t want to pay their fair share for real reform” to change their ways.
