The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule by Thursday of this week on whether two key provisions of the Affordable Care Act - the landmark health care law - are constitutional:
When: The Day of the Decision, 5 PM (rain or shine)
(Decision can be any day in June: likely to be Thursday June 28)
Where: Daley Plaza, Chicago
(Located in Chicago on Washington Street, between Dearborn and Clark)
Regardless of the outcome, we will call upon Governor Quinn to move forward on health care reform, including the creation of the Health Benefits Exchange. We must speak out ? We must win. For more information, contact me at info. below.
