Louise and Harry are both mortified of losing their jobs. Their 401K has tanked. So have their other investments. What once looked like a promising retirement, now frightens them. Lucky for them they don't need Prozac for depression ($181.90 per month per each).
You can live without Viagra and HRT and treatment for BPH. You can live without cholesterol lowering drugs. But how long and at what cost to your health and well-being.
The first Harry and Louise ads were funded by Health Insurance Association of America, a health insurance lobbying group. We shouldn't have trusted them then. But this time Harry and Louise got it right. Healthcare should be at the top of the agenda. "Bring everyone to the table and make it happen"
Make it happen.
