Local group presses for single-payer health-care plan
Local proponents of a single-payer health-care system will meet Tuesday to plan a "birthday" party for the Medicare system at U.S. Rep. John Salazar's Pueblo office.
Anne Courtright, founder of Pueblo's Health Care for All Committee, said the event at Salazar's office set for 10 a.m. July 31 (the 43rd anniversary of the federal Medicare system) is intended to cement his support for HR676.
