Join Frederick County Progressives for a march and rally calling on Maryland officials to support a single-payer, Medicare for All system. The event will take place on a national day of action to raise awareness of and support for National, Improved Medicare for All, as outlined in Bill HR-676, as the solution we need to our systemic health insurance crisis.Â
