Event Description

On behalf of the Pennsylvania Million Med March & Docs4PatientCare, and a coalition of patient and physician advocacy groups, we respectfully request your presence at Pennsylvania's MillionMedMarch-PA on Saturday, November 21st starting at noon on City Island, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. From there, we will march to the Capitol steps in Harrisburg.

Our coalition is comprised of health care professionals and patients from throughout Pennsylvania who are opposed to government-run health care and want to offer alternative solutions to our nation's health care problems. The MillionMedMarch will be occurring simultaneously in cities all across the country.

This is not a political or partisan event. We want everyone to come out and see with their own eyes that the majority of health care workers are not in lock-step with the AMA or any other health care organization that believes the federal government is the only answer to health care reform.

We will have a wide range of speakers, including national policy experts, clinical experts and “in the trenches” doctors and nurses with hundreds of years of combined experience.

Bring your signs and your voice.
