Supporters of national healthcare reform rallied outside the State Capitol October 14 and called for passage of legislation that would give America a healthcare system to be proud of.
The rally was part of a daylong "Reading of the Bill" on the State Capitol steps. Between 5 a.m. and 9 p.m., more than 60 local residents volunteered to take turns reading America's Affordable Health Choices Act (HR 3200) in its entirety. That bill has passed three committees of the U.S. House of Representatives and now awaits action by the full membership later this month.
