'Harry and Louise' Ads on Healthcare Are Back

Filed in archive News by Gloria Gamat on August 20, 2008

This 1994 'Harry and Louise' political ad on healthcare helped trump President Clinton's move for a universal healthcare.



Now the 'Harry and Louise' ad is back in time for the Republican and Democratic Party Conventions with an appeal to whoever is the next President: "health care should be at the top of his agenda, bring everyone to the table and make it happen."



14 years later and healthcare in the United States remains a problem. Will ever the new President to be elected solve it, remains to be seen.

The latest Harry and Louise ads, starring the same actors as the earlier ads, will run during the Democratic and Republican Party conventions. While the kitchen table scene will look familiar, the concerns they raise will differ. Previously, Louise spoke of rationing - "you know, long waits for health care and some services not even available."

The groups sponsoring the new ad include one group that aggressively fought the Clinton efforts back in 1994 - the National Federation of Independent Business. There's also a major supporter of the Clinton plan - the advocacy group Families USA. The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network and trade groups for hospitals are also sponsors.
