Rally calls for national health care
08/22/08
From The Saratogan:
Members of Health Care for American Now! (HCAN), an advocacy group representing a wide array of interests, rallied outside the Saratoga Hospital's Emergency Room to release the report to the media and to call for a national health care system.
"We're outside the Emergency Room because it has become the dumping ground of the health care system," said Lydia Gottesfeld, an organizer with Citizen Action, one of the event's organizers. "Health care is in an emergency situation, and we need to get people thinking about this, especially in the election year."
