Cover the Uninsured Week Provides Opportunities for All Americans to Get Involved in Solving National Problem
Cover the Uninsured Week provides opportunities for all Americans to get involved in solving a national problem that impacts all of us. Each city in the United States is holding a Cover the Uninsured Week event to spread awareness and educate individuals about current health insurance policies. The week's activities include public forums, health screenings, rallies, film screenings, and more.
This week's events are scheduled from March 29 through April 5th. The events will take place at various locations throughout the United States so people can easily attend them without having to travel far or to large sporting venues. Many cities have also offered free admission for children and certain individuals during these dates with proceeds going towards helping those who cannot afford healthcare policy premiums or medical costs.
The Cover the Uninsured Week is being coordinated by Healthcare For America Now (HFAN) which is an organization made up of grassroots healthcare advocates and progressive groups. HFAN works with other organizations to spread awareness about important health care issues such as the aforementioned Cover the Uninsured Week. HFAN also works to promote awareness of Insurance Fraud and Health Care Fraud.
"Healthcare needs to be a human right [and] everyone needs access to health insurance," said Cherri Collins-Lee, Vice President of HFAN's Education Fund, who will be participating in one of the events in Williamsburg, Virginia on March 31st. "The Cover the Uninsured Week is a great way for healthcare advocates and others to come together to promote awareness about the uninsured. We can all help by participating in the events."
The Cover the Uninsured Week was created by HFAN to educate more people about how they can get involved in helping those who do not have health insurance. The week is filled with events held across the country so anyone can attend an event without having to travel far or use up a lot of time. In addition, many of these weeks will also be held at local schools, libraries and other public locations so everyone who wants to attend can easily do so.

Conclusion. The importance of the right to bear arms in the state of Illinois is outlined throughout the court rulings and statutes. In fact, as was noted by District Court Judge Thomas R. Fitzgerald, in, “the right to bear arms in defense of self, home, and country is one of our most basic civil rights” (Berglund v State (Illinois)) at 20. The Illinois General Assembly made it clear that it saw the need for an individual’s right to bear arms when passed the Firearm Concealed Carry Act of 2008.
