On the day of an historic vote for health insurance reform in the US House of Representatives, hundreds of supporters came to the State House in Concord this afternoon to bring home the message that NH needs health insurance reform now!
Waving handmade signs representing their home towns, constructing makeshift billboards, and proudly wielding Organizing For America placards, New Hampshire residents joined Senate Majority Leader Maggie Hassan, NHDP Chairman Raymond Buckley, Congressman Paul Hodes’ wife Peggo, and NH doctors and small business owners from across the state to voice their support for health insurance reform, and the delivery of fair and affordable health insurance for all Americans.
“Bringing It Home: New Hampshire Unites For Health Insurance Reform” was the work of volunteers here in New Hampshire who know the power that many voices can have in making change happen. Check out the pictures below to see what can happen when Americans come together the reverse the status quo!
While the countdown to a final health reform bill is on in Washington, thousands of New Hampshire residents are without health insurance or are paying too much for too little. Over the past few months, supporters of health insurance reform have made phone calls to Members of Congress, hosted organizing and informational house parties, they've knocked on doors and emailed their friends.
And on November 7th, we'll have an opportunity for every supporter across the state of New Hampshire to make their voices heard at the State House in Concord. On Saturday November 7th, New Hampshire residents, elected officials and supporters from all corners of New Hampshire will gather to represent for their neighbors, family and friends, how widespread and fervent the demand for affordable and accessible health care is in New Hampshire.
Please join us on November 7th at 2pm in front of the State House in Concord to hear from Representative Carol Shea-Porter, State Senate Majority Leader Maggie Hassan, and other distinguished guests about the need for speedy and responsible health insurance reform for New Hampshire. We are closer now than ever to see health insurance reform become a reality. This movement has been hard fought and it's not over yet. Come join us and let your voice be heard, and let's bring health insurance reform home to New Hampshire!
