Advocates, patients, and health care professionals gathered in Perry Square on Saturday to raise awareness about the need for affordable health care for all Pennsylvanians.
The rally, organized by Healthcare4AllPA, brought together community members and policymakers to discuss the challenges many people face when trying to access affordable medical care.
Throughout the event, speakers shared personal stories about the financial burden of health care and how high costs have affected their lives. Physicians also addressed the crowd, offering their perspectives on the importance of expanding access to affordable care.
Organizers said they hope the rally encourages lawmakers and community leaders to pursue policies that make health care more affordable and accessible for everyone.
Healthcare4AllPA is a statewide organization, and organizers say additional rallies are planned across Pennsylvania as they continue to advocate for health care affordability.
