As if working to save Hollywood from runaway production and piracy wasn't enough, Assemblyman Paul Krekorian has brought some acting muscle to the issue of health care. Here's the release:

Assemblymember Paul Krekorian, Hollywood Stars and Local Activists Join In Demanding ‘Healthcare For All’

GLENDALE, CA– Assemblymember Paul Krekorian (D-Burbank) will join actors Yvette Freeman (Nurse Haleh Adams on ER), Kirkwood Smith (That 70’s Show) and John Harnagel (formerly in Desperate Housewives), along with activists from the Service Employee International Union and League of Women Voters, to discuss California’s healthcare crisis this Saturday afternoon in Glendale.

The gathering will feature personal stories of concerned local citizens, a brief video program and comments from Assemblymember Krekorian regarding the landmark healthcare reform proposals passed by both the Assembly and Senate on Thursday.

“More than six million Californians lack any health coverage at all, and millions more are underinsured. That is a crisis by any definition, and we need to get serious about solving it,” said Assemblymember Krekorian. “Yesterday we took a bold step by passing a sweeping proposal to ensure that all of California’s children will have the health care they need, and to substantially reduce the number of adult uninsured in our state. But we still have so much more to do. Our leaders of the past wiped out poverty among the elderly through the Social Security program, and they ensured comprehensive quality health care for seniors through Medicare. Certainly we can have similar vision and courage in solving the healthcare crisis for all Californians.”

WHAT: It’s our Healthcare!
