‘HANDS OFF MY HEALTH CARE’ Bus Tour

Patients’ Rights Group Continues Maryland Leg of ‘HANDS OFF MY HEALTH CARE’ Bus Tour
Buses to meet activists as Patients First tour urges constituent action against a government takeover of health care

ANNAPOLIS, MD – Maryland members of Congress are back in Washington, and their constituents sent them off with a message: “Keep your hands off our health care!” Americans for Prosperity's Patients First Bus Tour invites citizens to come out and learn more about health reform and make their voices heard! The bus tour will continue its Maryland leg of the trip on Monday, September 14 in Annapolis and will urge constituents to speak out on behalf of patients and against a government takeover. The full schedule for Maryland is below.

For detailed information on the entire route or a complete tour schedule please visit www.JoinPatientsFirst.com.

“Americans are fired up about health care, and the bus tour gives more people the opportunity to come out and get involved,” said Amy Menefee, spokesperson for Patients First. “They’ve heard enough proposals from Washington that give government all the decision-making power. It is time for citizens to tell their legislators to stop, turn around, and pursue real reforms that put patients first.”

Citizens will be urged to call their senators, visit their district offices, and sign the Patients First petition. The petition asks all members of Congress to oppose any legislation that imposes greater government control over health care and results in fewer choices for patients and their families. It can be viewed at www.JoinPatientsFirst.com.

“These proposals would change everything about health care as we know it. Instead of patients and doctors making decisions, it would be government bureaucrats,” said Menefee. “We’ve got to let lawmakers know that the American people simply don’t want a government takeover of their health care.”
