Health Care March

A coalition of Bellingham and Whatcom County organizations are sponsoring the  Bellingham Health Care Reform March at noon on September 12 at Maritime Heritage Park at 500 W. Holly in Bellingham.  The public is invited.

The Whatcom Democrats, United for National Healthcare, MoveOn Bellingham Council, Organizing for America, Jobs with Justice, Whatcom Peace & Justice Center & other local groups are participating in the march.  All of these groups support sweeping reforms in the current health care system.  Some of these groups support private health insurance reform, others support a national single payer health care system, and still others support a mixed system with private insurance and a national public insurance option.

The March for Health Care Reform will begin at Maritime Heritage Park with a rally that will feature speakers from local government and local health care reform organizations.  The marchers will walk in a loop through downtown Bellingham and then return to Maritime Heritage Park for a short ending rally.

For more information, call (360) 398-2295.
