ATLANTA — Hundreds of doctors from metro Atlanta gathered at the state Capitol to protest against the Democrat-led health care reform.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that many of the doctors wore their white lab coats during the Saturday protest.
The doctors said they fear the legislation would drive up health costs, reduce access to care and control the services they provide to people.
Organizers in Atlanta said 500 people participated in the rally, but police said the number was closer to 350. The gathering in Atlanta was one of several across the country to oppose the health care measures.
