We made it to Baltimore!!
Posted on February 23rd, 2010 by Antoinette Kraus
We made it into Baltimore this morning. We were happy the sun was shining and the weather was still good. We were ready to cross the 100 mile marker later in the day.
We're marching from Philadelphia to DC
...to tell Congress to listen to us - not the insurance companies.

Who's marching?
Amy Fitzpatrick doesn't get health care through her part-time job and can't afford to see her doctor or the prescriptions she needs. She's marching to make health care a right for everyone.
Bill West's son has a chronic condition. If his son is ever without a job, he won't be able to get coverage. Bill's family rates have gone up 48%. Bill's marching because he doesn't know when this is going to stop.
Every member of Athena Ford's family has been failed by our health care system. She's marching to change the system, because the costs are too high if we don't.
Antoinette Kraus's mother and sister have pre-existing conditions. Her sister, a veteran, has more than $40,000 in medical debt. She's marching for health reform for her family and everyone who's fallen through the cracks of our health care system.
