Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will TRIPLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $30 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Obama Campaigns for Healthcare Reform

HeadlineMar 09, 2010

President Barack Obama traveled to Pennsylvania Monday to campaign for healthcare reform. In one of his most spirited speeches of his presidency, Obama intensified his attacks on health insurers, accusing the industry of placing profits ahead of patients.

President Obama: “And they will keep on doing this for as long as they can get away with it. I mean, there’s no secret. They’re telling their investors this: 'We are in the money; we are going to keep on making big profits, even though a lot of folks are going to be put under hardship.' So how much higher do premiums have to rise until we do something about it? How many more Americans have to lose their health insurance?”
