Rally Thursday To Support Healthcare Reform

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Hundreds of supporters of the controversial issue of health care reform showed up to a rally at Centennial Park on Thursday.

In America some 46 million people have no health insurance.

"Everyone should be entitled to insurance. You a human being everybody should have insurance," said Faye Head, supporter of health care reform.

President Barack Obama said he was pushing hard for American Health Care Reform, but not everyone agreed with Obama's idea. Some people without health care are not for President Obama's plan.

"There are people who need it. As Jesus said we do need to help those who need the help, but it can be tweaked for that," said Sharron George, against health care reform.
