Several thousand union members and community, health and faith activists as well as small business owners from up and down the East Coast are traveling to the nation’s capitol June 25 to tell Congress to pass real health care reform that works for real people.
Sponsored by Health Care for America Now! the mid-day Capitol Hill rally will be followed by lobbying visits and several town hall meetings in what organizers say will be the largest health care lobbying day ever held. The U.S. House and Senate will be debating health care reform proposals in committee and final bills are expected to be up for votes on the floor in July. Says AFL-CIO President John Sweeney:
Health care costs are crushing families, businesses and government at all levels. We cannot cover everyone without bringing down costs and we cannot control costs without getting everyone into the system.
