OK, I was so perturbed by the paucity of events marking Cover the Unisured Week, I made one up:
Bloggers for National Health Care Day, Saturday, March 28
As the culmination of Cover the Uninsured Week, March 22–28, lend your voice to the call for a national health care system that covers all Americans. Though polls show most Americans believe we need a program that covers everyone, health-care reform is in considerable danger of being turned into a Band-Aid on the present system.
Let your readers know that they need to take action now — contact their legislators and tell them we need health care for all, and it can't wait.
I can't say it's getting a whole lot of attention. But this other event, next month, is real:
Rally for Real Health Reform, Saturday, April 18
- When: 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, April 18
- Where: St. Augustine College, 1345 W. Argyle St., Chicago
- Sponsors: Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-9th), Citizen Action/Illinois and Health Care for America Now! — Illinois
- For more information: Jessica Palys, (312) 427-2114, ext. 206, or John Gaudette, ext. 208
- RSVP
