WHEN: Monday, March 22, 2010, 11am

WHY: Our patients need it, our communities need it, our country needs it. A sea of white coats and scrubs on Pennsylvania Ave will give Congress a strong message – we must pass health reform now.

Who Are We?
We are health professionals — doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, physicians assistants, and friends of health professionals.
We come from all over the country and one thing unites us: each of us has been touched by the patients we see and the struggles they have faced in our current health care system. This is why we are marching together to fight for the health care reform that we can and must achieve as a nation.
Do we agree on every single aspect of health reform? Of course not. Do we agree that moving forward with health reform will lay the foundation to a better health care system for our patients and for America? Absolutely!
Our patients need better access to care, a regulated insurance industry, improved quality and lower costs. Health professionals know that health reform for our patients and for America is not optional.
That's why we are marching on Washington DC on March 22 — to make sure Congress hears us and gets the job done.
We know. We care. Reform can't wait.
See you on March 22,For more details visit www.healthmarch.org.
