Rally at the Square for Universal Healthcare

That is the advertisement for the rally. The rally is going to take place at noon at Public Square in downtown Wilkes-Barre. There are going to be additional rallies throughout the state.

In addition to protesting insurance companies, the protest is also meant to promote two pieces of single-payer insurance in Pennsylvania. HB 1660 and SB 300.

HB 1660
SB 300

Both pieces of legislation aim to provide comprehensive universal health care to Pennsylvanians.

As a supporter of universal health care I may be there at the rally if I can manage. I hope it all goes well tomorrow.

Let's contact our representation in the General Assembly and urge them to support these pieces of legislation.
