April 8 in Salem: Rally for Health Care for All

Health Care for ALL – Oregon (HCAO) is working for secure, affordable health care for each and every Oregonian. We believe the best way to do this is through a universal, single-payer health care system for every resident of the state (and nation). With everyone in the same insurance pool, we can lower costs while providing more comprehensive services than what most residents receive now.

Join HCAO and many other advocates for Health Care Action Day in Salem, on Wednesday, April 8, 2009. Wear your HCAO T-shirt and bring a sign!
