Wednesday, February 22, 12:30-1:30pm, outside of U.S. Senator Rob Portman’s Columbus office, 37 W. Broad St., Ste. 300

SPAN [Single Payer Action Network] Ohio will be holding a rally prior to a meeting with Senator Rob Portman in his Columbus office. This rally will assemble in the park next to the building.

SPAN Ohio will be asking that Senator Portman support Medicare for All: a health care system that is universal, of high quality, comprehensive, publicly financed, not tied to employment, accountable to the citizens of the country, and not accountable to Wall Street.

The lack of a health care system that meets the above standards has resulted in preventable deaths and disease as well as financial hardship for many who just have the bad luck of getting sick or having an accident. The current system is inefficient and wasteful and a drain on our economy.

We’d like to show Senator Portman that his constituents are behind Medicare for All and hope that those who agree will be present at this rally. Stories about personal difficulties with the current system will be shared; please bring yours!
