West Virginia groups working for Health Care Reform will gather in the lobby of the old Daniel Boone Hotel (405 Capitol Street) in Charleston on Tuesday, October 6 at 11:30AM to applaud West Virginia’s Senator Rockefeller for his valiant efforts for Real Health Reform. Rockefeller has repeatedly taken the side of the public over Big Insurance. Speakers representing WV member groups of the national coalition Health Care for America Now (HCAN) will recognize him as a national champion in the fight to provide health care for all.

It’s a Crime to Deny Care Protest CAMC

After the press conference, many of the assembled groups will march up Washington St. to CAMC hospital to set up a mock “Crime Scene” armed with signs, personal stories, crime scene tape, and chalk to graphically demonstrate what happens every day – Big Insurance Bureaucrats blocking access to medically need care in hospitals and doctors offices all over the nation. The groups will deliver a simple message: If the insurance companies win, we lose.
