  Harry and Louise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harry and Louise was a television commercial aired by the health insurance industry in opposition to President Bill Clinton's proposed health care plan in 1993.
It was widely credited as being a major factor in the plan's ultimate defeat, and is often cited as a landmark moment in the use of public relations techniques for lobbying.
The "Harry and Louise" commercial was sponsored by The Coalition for Health Insurance Choices (CHIC), an insurance company front group leading the attacks on health care reform.

 Harry and Louise Make Me Sick
Harry and Louise were the professional, fortyish couple who spent their evenings examining the Clinton health care bill in televised advertisements run in 1993 and 1994, the brainchildren of media consultant Ben Goddard of Goddard-Claussen/First Tuesday.
The strategic thinking that went into the Harry and Louise ads went far beyond the concept of überyuppies translating a 1300-page bill for the ostensible benefit of the average American.
Harry and Louise demonstrated to us how easily special interest groups with enormous budgets can influence the laws under which we all live.

 Wikinfo | Harry
Harry is a common first name in the English-speaking world.
In Norway, the word harry is used synonymously with vulgar, unsophisticated persons.
The reason is that English names like 'Harry' were modern in the urban Norwegian working classes in the beginning of the 20th century, while the upper and middle class preferred Scandinavian, German or occasionally French names.

 AMA (Virtual Mentor) Genethics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The fictional characters Harry and Louise were created initially at the request of the Health Insurance Association of America (HIAA) for use in its campaign against President Clinton’s health reform plan in 1994.
Harry and Louise sat at their kitchen table and, with genuine concern in their voices, worried that people would lose choice of doctors under the Clinton plan and that the proposed plan would be so expensive that employers would no longer offer health insurance as a benefit.
Harry and Louise’s third appearance, the one transcribed at the top of this article, startled even HIAA, prompting them to sue CuresNow for copyright violation.

Industry associations pitched in with money to fund the brilliant and notorious "Harry and Louise" campaign, in which the eponymous fictional characters discover that under the Clinton proposal, they may no longer be able to choose their doctor.
This, combined with political inexperience and miscalculation on the part of the new administration, led to the collapse of the proposal on Capitol Hill and contributed hugely to the election of a GOP House and Senate for the first time in 40 years.
"Harry and Louise" aren't going to reappear unless someone decides something is worth a fight — well, that is, until the real Harrys and Louises out there figure out what's been going on in Washington.

Although Harry and Louise were originally created for the Health Insurance Association of America (HIAA), they are now being used by a Hollywood pro-cloning group called CuresNow.

 Harry and Louise:  The Missing Years | Physicians for a National Health Program   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Most people naturally assumed Harry and Louise were creatures of the PR and advertising industries.  They're very much alive, however; they were friends of my parents from way back when.  They were frequent guests at our house when I was a kid and we at theirs.
The end came abruptly but not unexpectedly.  Harry and Louise were always decent people with a profound sense of pride in the American system and their place in it.  When that very system boomeranged on them, they couldn't handle it.  Nor could they envision an old age of poverty, untreated disease and constant pain.
Next time:  Harry and Louise go to hell.  As John Prine might have written, their Blue Cross cards won't get them into heaven anymore.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Harry and Louise first appeared in HIAA television advertisements that helped doom President Clinton's health reform plan nearly a decade ago and have since been used by the insurance trade group in print, broadcast and Internet campaigns to promote its point of view on various issues, the association said on Thursday.
The characters in the CuresNow ads "are indistinguishable" from the Harry and Louise who appear in HIAA's promotions, the trade group said.
Goddard said that the actors -- whose real names are Harry and Louise -- were only under contract to HIAA for two years following the original 1993-94 campaign, and that the association never trademarked the "Harry and Louise" name.

He cashed in on his fame with "Harry and Louise" (and also his success in defeating anti-business referendums in states) by selling his company to the communications conglomerate Omnicom Group Inc. in 1999.
Such was the case with "Harry and Louise." Health insurers spent well over $20 million (a gargantuan amount at the time) not just on advertisements but on parallel lobbying efforts as well.

 Harry and Louise Go to Kyoto By Robert Shrum
The ad agency that helped scuttle Clinton's health plan with the "Harry and Louise" spots is back with an attack on the global-warming treaty, which is scheduled to be signed next month in Kyoto, Japan.
A map with holes in it is a mnemonic for the global-warming treaty and its supposedly glaring loopholes.
Whenever viewers hear of the treaty again, the first thing they're likely to think of is that map--just as the phrase "Clinton health plan" came to trigger the picture of Harry and Louise being denied the right to choose their own doctor.

Baranger began the next piece, You Made Me Love You, by explaining to the audience that although the song made James a commercial success, he shied away from performing it in later years because he considered himself to be a jazz artist.

 Understanding the "Harry and Louise" Campaign
The original "Harry and Louise" advertising campaign was conceived by Ben Goddard and Rick Claussen of the advertising/public relations firm of Goddard Claussen.
The "Flo" campaign came along in July 1999 and it was modeled after the "Harry and Louise" campaign of 1993.
The "Flo" campaign originated in 1999, and like the "Harry and Louise" campaign was aimed at keeping the federal government out of covering Medicare and its beneficiaries for their prescription drugs.

This is just too much for Louise, who hugs the girl, closes her eyes, and whispers, "Oh, sweetie." Again a closing-title screen reminds us of the targeted bill and the sponsor.
Oh, and one postscript: The Harry and Louise characters, by the way, first appeared in ads put together by the Health Insurance Association of America (an insurance industry lobbyist) as part of the effort to torpedo health-care reform in the early 1990s—and those original ads are actually archived at www.harryandlouise.org.

 HAY - The Book, by Bart Beck
Harry Shively (Louise's father) and Bill Stauder had made arrangements to get a load of, freshly cut, alfalfa hay from a farmer whose hay field was located along side a railroad track near Noah's Lake, east of Three Rivers.
The nearest access to the hay field was from a road crossing about a half mile east of the field, then along the railroad right-of-way, to a gate that allowed entrance to the field.
In as much as I was a suitor of Harry's daughter, Louise, I was asked to go along to help load the hay.
