On May 30th, 2009 over 300 participants from Tacoma and Pierce County demanded at a rally and march

Accessible and Affordable Health Care For All

In 2009 we will state loudly:

No more deaths from a lack of health care insurance!
No more bankruptcies from unmanageable medical bills!
No more unhealthy kids, families and seniors!
No more sitting idly. In 2008, an estimated 46 people from Pierce County died from a lack of health care insurance. This cannot continue. We will have fundamental change to the way America does health care!
