The Internet can be used to rally myriad causes, but we’ve never heard of anything quite like this: Health Care for America Now, a grassroots organization pushing for health-care reform, has called on MSNBC host Keith Olbermann to name Karen Ignagni his "worst person in the world."

You see, Ignagni heads America’s Health Insurance Plans, which lobbies on behalf of health-insurance companies. According to HCAN, Ignagni’s using her influence to block potentially lifesaving legislation and, thus, deserves to be shamed on Olbermann’s popular "Countdown" news show.

From the HCAN website:

• Ignagni has been lying to the American people for months. She’s been traveling around the country saying the health-insurance industry is working for real reform in good faith. However, AHIP has already come out against the heart of Obama’s health-care plan, the public health-insurance option.

• AHIP has a history of bargaining in bad faith. AHIP’s predecessor organization ran the ‘Harry and Louise’ ads that killed Bill Clinton’s health-care reform efforts. They have spent $7 million on lobbying for their business interests in 2006, and will spend many times more than that this year. 

In an effort to turn Ignagni, HCAN this week staged a protest outside of AHIP’s office, but, sadly for them, Ignagni failed to heed their calls for confrontation, so now they’re turning to the tube. And, apparently, the Internet.
