The Return Of 'Harry And Louise'

Harry and Louise, the couple that made a name for themselves pitching a health care message on television back in the 1990s, have returned and will hit the airwaves this weekend with a new ad urging more cooperation and less politics in the push to the finish line on health care reform.

The two are scheduled to appear at a news conference at 11 a.m. today with Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., and other senators who sit on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. Dodd called the news conference to thank the people and organizations that are supporting the health reform bill that the committee approved Wednesday.
