Health care ruling spurs protest at state Capitol
By Kristina Torres
June 29, 2012About two dozen people attended a rally Friday at the state Capitol to protest the U.S. Supreme Court's upholding of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.
State Attorney General Sam Olens, the featured speaker, emphasized the state's opposition to the ruling, calling Obama's Affordable Care Act "neither affordable or accessible."
Virginia Galloway, head of the Georgia chapter of Americans for Prosperity, said the decision should be a rallying call to vote Obama out of office.
Gov. Nathan Deal, who did not attend the rally, had said earlier that he would delay action on the federal health law in hopes Republicans win the White House and Congress this fall and repeal the law.
