From Americans for Prosperity North Carolina:
Patients? Rights Group To Rally For Free Market Health Care Solutions 10:00 AM Wednesday
Group Will Announce Statewide Patients First Bus Tour to urge grassroots action against a government takeover of health care
Raleigh ? Americans for Prosperity?s Patients First effort will hold a ?Hands Off My Health Care? rally in support of free market health care solutions just hours before President Obama will speak in Raleigh in favor of a government takeover of healthcare.
The Rally will be held at 10:00 AM Wednesday July 29th at The North Raleigh Hilton, 3415 Wake Forest Road in Raleigh. The event is free and open to the public and media.
?While we welcome President Obama to our great state we believe people in North Carolina will not be persuaded to support a government run healthcare system that will require billions in new taxes and does not offer free market health care solutions,? said Americans for Prosperity & Patients First State Director Dallas Woodhouse. ?We will rally for free market solutions to our health care challenges and against proposals from Washington that give government all the decision-making power. It is time for citizens to tell their legislators to stop, turn around, and pursue real reforms that put patients first.?
Those in attendance will be urged to call their senators, visit their district offices, and sign the Patients First petition. The petition asks all members of Congress to oppose any legislation that imposes greater government control over health care and results in fewer choices for patients and their families.
The petition is located at www.JoinPatientsFirst.com.
People unable to attend the event are encouraged to visit www.JoinPatientsFirst.com.
Americans for Prosperity will also announce details of a 6-day statewide bus tour that will take the ?Hands Off My Health Care? message to all areas of the state.
?These proposals would change everything about health care as we know it. Instead of patients and doctors making decisions, it would be government bureaucrats,? said Woodhouse. ?We?ve got to let lawmakers know that the American people simply don?t want a government takeover of their health care.?
