CREDO Rallies for Universal Health Care

Today, a few of us from the political department went to San Francisco City Hall to join our coalition partners in the Health Care for America NOW! Below you can see a picture of me, Kate Stayman-London and Will Easton standing next to Mayor Newsom as he delivered the key note address. Similar events were held in over 52 cities across the United States.

It is a tragedy that over 40 million Americans don't have access to affordable health care. In an election year it is more important than ever that we demand real reform for health care. Health Care for America NOW is working toward a bold new solution that would give Americans real choices and a guarantee of quality coverage we can afford: keep a current private insurance plan, pick a new private insurance plan, or join a public health insurance plan. The ambitious but achievable goal is to institute this plan in 2009.
