Richard Kirsch spent three
years at the epicenter of the battle to reform healthcare in the U.S. As head
of grassroots coalition representing 30 million Americans, he worked inside the
Beltway – alongside and sometimes at odds with the Obama administration – and
with grassroots activists across the country. On this week’s Global Reach,
Kirsch will reveal inside story of what REALLY happened (and how) on the
ground, and what efforts to overturn the Affordable Care Act could mean not
just to the2012 Presidential election, but to the future of U.S. politics,
policy and the economy.
The epic battle for U.S. healthcare reform is far from over. The outcome will
impact not just the 2012 Presidential Election, but U.S. policy, politics and
competitiveness for decades. After three years at the epicenter of the
healthcare reform battle, few people are in a better position than Richard
Kirsch, the leader of the grassroots Health Care for America Now (HCAN)
coalition to tell the inside story how health-care reform came to be the law of
the land, and what its passage - and the efforts to overturn it – mean for the
future of American politics and policy.
As a guest on the February 23 broadcast of Global Reach on the VoiceAmerica Business Channel, Kirsch will discuss his new book Fighting for Our Health: The Epic Battle to Make Health Care a Right in the United States, www.FightingforOurHealth.com, and take “Global Reach” listeners inside the biggest and most consequential issue campaign in American history. As a board member of Citizen Action of New York where Kirsch served as Executive Director from 1986-2008, “Global Reach” host Té Revesz work on health care reform issues with her guest for over a decade.

Richard will share a first person account of the tense
relationship between progressives and the Obama administration. While the
President and his team both pushed for reform and made repeated concessions to
the health care industry, they tried to squelch any pressure from the left.
Richard’s group HCAN, worked with over 1,000 progressive organizations across
the country to fight back and push for accessible, affordable and quality
healthcare for all. He’ll talk how grassroots organizers played a crucial role
in congressional passage and President Obama's signing of historic health
reform legislation in March 2010 — defeating powerful industry lobbies and Tea
Party activists.
Now the Affordable Care Act is before the Supreme Court. How could repeal by the Supreme Court impact the 2012 election? The U.S. economy? What should those who want to protect the law do? Tune in and find out.
