| Charleston, WV health care protest and forum Dozens of protesters both for and against overhauling the nations health care system gathered outside a health care forum Tuesday morning featuring Sen. Jay Rockefeller. The invitation-only event was sponsored by the West Virginia chapter of the AARP, West Virginians for Affordable Health Care, and the West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy. Other such events across the country have been disrupted by people opposed to overhauling the nations health care system, but Tuesdays event was peaceful. About 250 people attended the forum in Riggleman Hall at the University of Charleston. Protester Larry Medley said he was afraid a health care overhaul would lead to higher taxes and the rationing of health care for seniors. Amy and Rich Bord of Grafton talk about their nine-year-old son, Sam, who has leukemia. They have exceeded their insurance policys lifetime cap of $1 million. State officials told them they could divorce, go bankrupt, or purposefully lose their jobs to get on the public dole. Rockefeller says a public option would lead to more competition, and over time more Americans would chose that over their private health insurance. |
