Hundreds Rally In Center City To Save Affordable Care Act
CBS PHILLY ^ | 25 FEBRUARY 2017 | CLEVE BRYAN

“We have to keep having these events and giving people chances to have their voices heard,” says WMP co-chair Alexandra Hackett Ferber.

The crowd included doctors and nurses.

“In general healthcare providers feel that everyone should have access to care independent of income level,” says Dr. David Poll, a UPenn cardiologist.

For some, protecting President Obama’s healthcare plan that mandates everyone have health insurance, while increasing assistance, is personal.

Denise Major from Philadelphia says she didn’t have insurance for several years before the ACA and was suffering from a hole in lungs.

Denise is an idiot. I was out of work and I found health care and it wasn’t as expensive as Obamacare. And now that Obamacare is being repealed so people like Deniae can buy better insurance for less money, she wants to keep Obamacare.

mandates everyone have health insurance

Or pay a penalty.

Eliminating the penalty should've been job # 1 for Congress this January, ready for Trump to sign on Jan. 20.

In 2015, Congress did pass a bill eliminating the penalty, by simple majority on budget reconciliation through both houses, only to have Obama veto it in January 2016.

But now that Trump is there and will sign it, Congress does nothing.

So now we're the "Dreamers" who hope the law won't be enforced.

hundreds in a major city, and yet for a tea party we got 7,000 in a small town!!!

And who exactly is going to pay for this crap, and what are their deductibles. One guy protesting at a town hall said he was 72 and was worried he would lose his obamacare. Er you dope, you have medicare. Seems either some of these people are really stupid, ignorant, or being fed a load of crap from obama and his org.

Uh, that would be the election, Alexandra and sorry to inform you but you missed it. Or your "voices" weren't enough to win. Either way, stop trying to force your free healthcare on those of us who pay.

Should read “Hundreds rally to have government make their hard working neighbors pay for their medical bills and for sex change operations instead of using their own hard earned money to feed, clothe, and pay for their own children’s health care.”
