Hundreds of protesters gathered at the Massapequa Long Island Rail Road station Tuesday to rally against proposed health care reform.
The protest, which was part of a national "tea party" movement, criticized the Obama administration?s efforts to renovate the current health care system and include a public option.
George Thompson, 68, who says he?s been protesting health care reform for decades, says any form of care run by the government will be inefficient.
A national tea party is planned for Sept.12 in Washington, D.C.
