On Monday, President Obama touted his healthcare reform plan, which he emphasized was supported by the American Medical Association (and the 150 physicians in white lab coats behind him), according to Chris Cillizza's Washington Post blog, The Fix.
Organizing for America, an arm of the Democratic National Committee has been relying on physicians and nurses to back the healthcare reform plan, and use that backing to rally public opinion. Thus far, physicians and nurses have been shown in television ads, and the organization has also sent an email to nurses urging them to publicly rally around the plan.
Getting nurses to publicly show support for the plan might be the key to obtaining public support—according to The Fix, 84% of a 2008 Gallup survey said that nurses have either "very high" or "high" honesty and ethical standards.
