The AARP, Business Roundtable, and Service Employees International Union on Jan. 16 launched Divided We Fail, a partnership that will work to engage elected officials, the business community and public in finding broad-based, bi-partisan solutions to the health care and long-term financial security issues facing Americans. The partners maintain that all Americans should have access to affordable, quality health care, and that the costs should not burden future generations.
They call for wellness and prevention efforts and giving Americans choices regarding long-term health care. The partnership plans to take an active role in the 2008 election and urge candidates to take positions on health care reform and financial security.
Its leaders plan to advertise, write opinion pieces and give speeches to continue momentum for the project. "We want to push the political process and break the gridlock and get Congress to work in a bipartisan way that we can support," said AARP CEO Bill Novelli.
