Local lawmakers, advocates rally in support of affordable health care

 

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Health care advocates and local lawmakers rallied in Milwaukee on Thursday in support of affordable health care.

It was part of the 'Care Force One' national bus tour which is making stops in 23 states.

The campaign gives people the opportunity to explain why having access to healthcare is important to them.

"We believe healthcare is a privledge, we're going to make sure our neighbors don't have to lay awake at night wondering if they're going to have healthcare when they need it the most," said State Sen. Chris Larson.

After leaving Milwaukee, 'Care Force One' made it's way to Green Bay.
