  General Information Start Over - Get Health Care Right Campaign Begins Today

New National Ad Featuring Former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop

Start Over - Get Health Care Right Campaign Begins Today

ALEXANDRIA, VA – Today, the 60 Plus Association announced a new advertising campaign featuring former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop. The ad which targets Congress asks people to call their Representatives and Senators and urge them to “Start Over - Get Healthcare Right.”

This latest 60 Plus Association national cable ad buy starts with a $400,000 expenditure and highlights C. Everett telling viewers he is 93 years old and “I’m here with 2 artificial joints, 2 pacemakers to keep my heart in rhythm, as well as a stent to keep my coronaries open.” He goes on to say seniors might not get the care they need at advanced ages under the new plans, and asserts that the discussions over a final plan should NOT be held in secret.


A full transcript of the ad can be found by clicking READ MORE below.


“C. Everett Koop has it right. Congress needs to start over and get healthcare right . Come out from behind closed doors and have a public debate about this all too important issue,” said Jim Martin, Chairman of 60 Plus.

Titled “Dr. Koop” the :60 second TV ad begins running today. (Click READ MORE to see the full transcript.)

“Seniors need to have ready access to their doctor, we don’t need to make that harder or increase the out-of-pocket costs for fixed income seniors. This reform bill would set us on the road to a system in which bureaucrats make medical decisions instead of doctors and patients. The healthcare norm would become a government run disaster with waiting lines for office visits and procedures, and seniors would have to beg civil service boards for innovative treatme nts or life saving medicine,” continued Martin.

For more information or to interview or book Jim Martin, please contact Carl Forti at 703-535-3390 or cforti@blackrockgrp.com

  Blind Awareness Blind man in coma after his guide dog attacked

reprint from Herald and Weekly Times out of Melbourne City Australia Story by Lucie van den Berg

A BLIND man was critically injured when an unprovoked attack on his guide dog caused him to plunge off a pier.

David Correa lost his balance and fell into the water at Vuictoria's Hastings pier after an uncontrolled dog lunged at his guide dog.

His distraught wife, Flavia, said he was in an induced coma at The Alfred Hospital after suffering broken ribs, a broken collarbone and a fractured spine. The 34-year-old recently had both kidney and pancreatic surgery.

Mr Correa and his friend John Quilligan were out walking with their guide dogs in Hastings on January 20 when they encountered another dog on the pier. Mr Quilligan said the owner grabbed the dog around the neck and pulled it back away from Kel, Mr Correa's guide dog.

"David's dog spun around that quickly, he let go of the harness and chain. He spun in the air, flipped and fell into the water," Mr Quilligan said.

A good Samaritan jumped in after him, keeping his head above water until paramedics arrived.

The 30-year-old cross country skier from Canmore, Alta., who is legally blind, was one of six men and five women named to the Canadian Olympic team Friday, making him the first athlete to compete in both the Winter Games and the Paralympics.

He’ll also be the first Canadian – winter or summer – to do so in the same year.

  Disability Tech Blind man regains sight after 30 yrs with bionic eye's help

reprint from Zee News Limited


London: In a ray of hope for millions of those who cannot see, a blind man, who underwent a "bionic eye" implant trial at a British hospital, has partially regained vision thirty years after losing his sight.

Peter Lane (51) from Stretford is one of the 32 people who participated in an international trial of 'bionic eye' at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital earlier this year.

Peter, who lost his sight to a degenerative genetic disease in his mid-twenties, can now read simple words with the help of the implant.

The device allows him to see the outline of objects as a series of dots of lights and helps him in reading also, Daily Mail reported.

"It was an amazing feeling after not being able to see anything to be seeing letters and words on a special screen. I was there reading dad, mat, cat," Peter said.

"I'm just reading small words at the moment and they (doctors) try us with smaller letters each time. It's a start and they've said they will get me a screen so I can read at home," he said.

Peter said now he feels more confident and independent when he goes out.

"The images I see move and that takes a bit of getting used to, but I can see cars — they look like cotton wool. It's exciting to be part of the trial," he said.
