Nurses Unveil New Advertising Campaign Against Schwarzenegger-Nunez 'Individual Mandate' Plan

The Words of Sen. Barack Obama Critique Concept of Forcing Patients to Buy

Insurance

OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- The California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee today launched a new statewide media campaign featuring the voice of Sen. Barack Obama commenting on proposals to force individuals to buy insurance.
