Wednesday was the best day yet on the Healthcare '09 Tour! We made 5 stops as we continue the trip down the coast on Route 1. Word must be getting out ahead of the ambulance because the crowds keep building, and we are getting more thumbs up as we roll on.

Today we stopped in Bucksport, Belfast, Rockland, Boothbay Harbor and Newcastle. At each stop, we talked with people who need healthcare reform now: they can't wait. With the average family premium in Maine predicted to rise from it's current outrageous price of $14, 285 to an astronomical $24, 376 by 2019, they are right. The cost is too high for reform to wait.
