Rally in St. Paul for universal health care

The coalition, along with allies and legislators, will be there to support the Minnesota Health Plan, which is a proposal to provide affordable health care for everyone in the state.

"It would be affordable because it would reduce the overall cost of care by having a single insurance program administered by the government," said supporter Buddy Robinson. "Insurance companies would no longer be denying claims or hassling with providers."

The rally will run from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the rotunda of the Capitol.

The Minnesota Health Plan is Sen. John Marty\’s bill, SF 2324 and HF 2522 in the last session. More information is available on-line at www.mnhealthplan.org .
