Healthcare rally set for Patrick Henry Park (UPDATED)
07/13/2009 11:19 AM by John M
The Service Employees International Union will host a rally “to demand affordable, quality healthcare” (PDF) at Patrick Henry Park (across from St. John’s Church) this Wednesday from 11AM-12.
Thanks to Mike McPeak for sending in some photos from the rally:
Healthcare is a ‘trojan horse’. This is just an opportunity to take more control over our lives.
According to a CNN/USA Today poll:
81% believe health care overhaul will reduce their quality of care.
79% believe Obamacare will limit their choice of doctors or treatments
82% think their healt insurance coverage will be reduced
84% believe Obamacare will increase their health care costs
84% say a government run system will sharply increase the federal deficit
Why are the lawmakers ignoring the people who put them in office?
It seems 80% of the people polled aren’t reading, researching, or thinking, nor meeting and speaking with people from other countries, or taking care of a terminally ill loved one. I think we need more than just a public option, we need universal care like the Canadians and British.
