thread_title: Background Literature

message: The Wikipedia:AmericanSolution (or more properly AmericanSolution when it gets renamed properly) article should be merged here. When you take the PR spin out of that article, cleanup the trivia & non-notable material, the article will not stand alone, but there a good place here at America’s Health Insurance Plans for the more salient bits. A redirect on AmericanSolution to that merged section would also be useful. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 19:15, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: *Delete. This article is nothing more than a PR piece for America’s Health Insurance Plans, an insurance industry organization, and has absolutely no business being included in an encyclopedia. --Goodrule (talk) 04:47, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: *Keep This article tells the reader about the AHIP as a lobbying force, and includes some criticism, too. Even if many people disagree with the AHIP, it is an important political force and a source of information. If the article seems slanted, editors are free to make it adhere to a neutral point of view, provided that there are cited sources. (WP:NPOV) --DThomsen8 (talk) 15:17, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Sorry for the capitalization in lieu of an actual argument. That's pretty much always annoying. I'll endeavor to do better. I think this organization is highly important, and recently has seen increased press coverage. Bryan Hopping T  16:21, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thats fair enough, and sorry if i was snappy. I dont really care what rating you give it for the other projects, but please dont change the politics rating above low. Willy turner (talk) 18:59, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The importance of the AHIP as a political force may be above low, even if many people disagree with what they are lobbying for. The same may be said of AARP and other organizations. --DThomsen8 (talk) 15:11, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur.  There's no doubt AHIP has significant political sway, although I don't know how that particular WikiProject prefers to deal with lobbying organizations, or if they have particular criteria for "ranking" them, as it were.  user:J aka justen (talk) 15:18, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Importance 

message: If you want to comply with WP:NPOV, you can find lots of well-sourced material at SourceWatch http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=America%27s_Health_Insurance_Plans for example the Harry and Louise ads and their opposition to Obamacare. --Nbauman (talk) 21:05, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Critics 

message: About 2/3 the article is an extended expression of the own POV on health care reform; the final third is an attack on that position. This sort of pro and con is not what is meant by NPOB: what is meant is neutral description.  Neither of them really are about the organization, and both of them are badly outdated, dealing with issues now over 5 years old.I presume they have some more recent activities, which would need to be described.
