A non-partisan advocacy group for seniors is hitting the road tomorrow for a second time this year to open discussion among seniors about Obama's controversial healthcare bill.
60 Plus Association Chairman Jim Martin says his group will begin its trek in Tampa, Florida.
"We visited three states before: Florida, Virginia and Ohio," he tells OneNewsNow. "But we're going to greatly expand the bus tour and include stops in not only Florida again, but Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio again, Wisconsin and probably some other states in the mix."
The first bus tour came before the Supreme Court's ruling that upheld the new healthcare law -- a bad decision, according to Martin and 60 Plus.
"The deciding vote cast by Chief Justice [John] Roberts caught a lot of people off-guard," he recalls. "So while the Supreme Court has ruled, 60 Plus is taking the case for the future of our healthcare to a higher court -- we like to call it the people's court."
Just like last time, Martin says people will have no trouble spotting the bus.
"The slogan on this bus is 'Health Care Reform: Let's Do It Better!' We then talk about it being patient-centered and affordable reform," he explains.
The bus also features pictures of Martin, 60 Plus President Amy Frederick and national spokesman Pat Boone. The 60 Plus bumper sticker reading "AARP: Association Against Retired Persons" is featured on the back as a reference to AARP's support of the healthcare law, among other policies.
