Yes We Can! Long Island 2012TIMES SQUARE — About a thousand people rallied in Manhattan on Saturday in support of federal health care reform legislation.
The event near Times Square began shortly after the funeral for U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy, and took-on the feel of a tribute to the liberal leader.
One person carried a sign that said, "TeddyCare for all."
U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney told the crowd the bill will lower health care costs for almost everyone. The New York Democrat also invoked Kennedy, saying the senator understood the need for change.
