CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Members of the Health Care for America Now (HCAN) rallied in Charleston on Tuesday.

The group wanted to applaud West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller for his valiant efforts for Real Health Reform.

"I think all too much we don't say thanks to the people that do the heavy lifting and get things done," said Perry Bryant, Executive Director of West Virginians for Affordable Health Care.

After the rally, the group marched up Washington Street to CAMC General to set up a mock crime scene with signs, personal stories, crime scene tape and chalk. The message they are trying to get across is that it's a crime to deny health care to anyone.

Members of the West Virginia Nurses Association also spoke out about some of the problems they've witnessed with the health care industry.

"We have elderly people who have to decide to buy medications or pay heating bills," said Beth Baldwin, President. " I have families call me all the time to say is this a medicine we have to have because I don't know if we can afford it."

Senator Jay Rockefeller has been a big proponent of the President's health care plan. He wants to make sure that the public option is included in the plan. It would help provide health care for everyone.
