Connecticut Health Care for America Now Group Asks Governor Rell, “Which Side Are You On?”
CT Citizen Action Group Challenges Governor to stand up to health
insurance industry and be on the side of quality, affordable health
care for all
Hartford, CT -- On Thursday, July 24, Connecticut Citizen Action Group (CCAG) and allies will stage a march and demonstration starting at Union Train Station, heading to the CT Business and Industry Association, and ending at the State Capitol with a visit to Governor Jodi Rell.
The roving rally is part of the Health Care for America Now (HCAN) Campaign which is holding similar events in 45 states in the next few months to highlight the need for quality, affordable health care for all Americans. Health Care for America Now is an unprecedented coalition of major organizations including labor unions, large Connecticut-based membership groups, women’s groups, doctors, nurses, small businesses, and leading netroots activists.
Connecticut health care advocates, policy makers and health care consumers will challenge Governor Jodi Rell to take a position on HCAN’s “Which Side Are You On?” statement which offers two options for health care reform in 2009: reform which includes a guarantee of quality, affordable health care for everyone along with a choice of public or private insurance plans; or reform that turns over more power and higher profits to health insurance companies and trusts the insurance market to fix the broken health care system.
WHEN: Thursday, July 24th at 3:00 PM
WHERE: Starting point is Union Train Station at 1 Union Place, Hartford, CT.
WHO: Connecticut Citizen Action Group, health care consumers & advocates
