In Machias, Milbridge and Ellsworth, the ambulance was met by dozens of people who want healthcare reform - STAT! We heard and collected personal stories to share with our members of Congress.

The average family premium in Maine costs $800 more because our system fails to cover everyone, with costs to our state's economy as much as $810 million this year alone, due to productivity losses because of a lack of health insurance. Our system is failing, and the people of Maine are feeling the costs.

Local media was on hand to take pictures, and talk with those who have been affected by our broken healthcare system. Unfortunately, their stories are all to common in Maine, which is why we have to make sure everyone has affordable health insurance that cannot be taken away.
