Rep. Donna Edwards (D-MD) speaks at a rally celebrating Medicare's 50th Anniversary at Upper Senate Park on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. on Thursday July 30, 2015. She was joined with other legislators, registered nurses and community members. The event was part of a national day of action, in over 25 U.S. cities, that called on policy makers to "Protect, Improve, and Expand" Medicare to cover all Americans with a single standard of quality care not based on ability to pay, under a theme of "Medicare is as American as Apple Pie." The coalition organizing the day of action included: National Nurses United, Physicians for a National Health Program, Alliance for Retired Americans, Campaign for a Healthy California, Healthcare-NOW!, Progressive Democrats of America, among others.
