"Healthcare Now" was the message some folks in Bangor delivered today.
Dozens of mainers delivered 40,000 written notes to the members of Maine's congressional delegation.
Trying to urge them to support President Obama's healthcare reform proposals.
Karen Hover is a local doctor who handles several uninsured patients.
She helped deliver the messages.
" Well we have 47 million patients that are uninsured in the country and that's way to many. People shouldn't be falling through the cracks. What bothers me is that simples things don't get treated. There are many diseases which are not that expensive to treat which are not getting taken care of because of the lack of insurance."
Similar events were also held in Lewiston and Caribou today.
