Vote For Your Favorite Health Care Video

Vote For Your Favorite Health Care Video

In keeping with it's dedication to grassroots and viral advocacy, the Obama Administration issued a challenge to the YouTube generation: Send us your best video supporting health care reform, and we'll put you on the air. The winning video will become a national commercial.

The results have been impressive: scores of home made videos that run from funny to touching, and express - perhaps better than we could - the depth of our nation's need for health insurance reform.

Take a look at some of the top contenders below, and view all videos and vote for your favorite on the Challenge website!

(FYI - a friend of ours made this "Boogeyman on Health Reform" video, so if you like it, don't forget to vote for it!)

This video does a great job of appealing to the innate capacity for compassion that makes us human, and reminds us that just because we don't always see all of the tragic effects of lack of health insurance, doesn't mean that we can ignore the issue. If it were right in front of us to do something to save another human being's life, would we not do everything we could? I believe that most people would - and reform is something we CAN do.
