Ohio Health Care Advocates Hit DC
| By Bret Thompson, ProgressOhio - Jun 26th, 2009 at 10:47 am EDT |
ProgressOhio members participated in yesterday's DC rally organized by Health Care for America Now. There are tons of national stories out, but the Plain Dealer's Sabrina Eaton was one of several journalist who provided Ohio-centric coverage of the event:
"It is unacceptable for a person to choose between food and medicine," Leondra Barrett, a single mom from Columbus, told the group. "It is unacceptable that people are literally dying of lack of adequate health care because they do not have insurance."
SEIU has a great slideshow available with pictures of the event.
Look for more to come after some of our members recoup from the long bus ride back.
