On May 1 at noon some 2,000 people are expected to attend a rally for single-payer health care at the Vermont statehouse. On May 1, 2009, more than 1,000 people attended a similar rally. Last year, May 1 fell on a weekday. This year, it will be on a Saturday.

U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders will speak at the rally. At last year's event Sanders said New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and the nation could get single-payer universal health care if Vermont leads the way. Every rich nation except the U.S. has universal health care. More information is at www.WorkersCenter.org
