NewsChannel5 is launching a new initiative to help our viewers navigate through health care reform.

It is called "Critical Condition."

Studies show that Americans believe health care reform is a top priority; but Americans admit they do not understand health care reform measures.

Critical Condition will inform viewers about what's being proposed and what it means to them and their families.

NewsChannel5 will be aggressively following health care reform activity in Congress, helping you navigate through the politics to discover how real people will be affected.

Our stories will be informative, balanced and clear.

If you have questions about health care reform, we'll get the answers for you.

Tell us your stories, your hopes and your concerns.

Health Care reform impacts individuals, families, and businesses, no one is excluded and we want to tell your stories.

Critical Condition will be on the air and online with easy-to-understand information and tips what you can do to be savvy health consumers in this challenging economy.

Health consumers, physicians and businesses are invited to e-mail your stories and suggestions to Alicia Booth at booth@newsnet5.com.
