Two hundred health care workers and advocates will descend on Parliament Hill in February to tell Parliamentarians: Save our public health care.

The largest Canadian Health Coalition Lobby to date, we will lobby Parliamentarians to stop the health care cuts and privatization, to improve working conditions, to end racism in health care, and to expand pharmacare.
