Doctor walking to D.C. to bring message of health care reform

CEARFOSS — Ogan Gurel said he could have e-mailed his congressional representatives stating his views about health care reform, but he figured he would simply get an automatic reply acknowledging his message had been received.

And that wasn’t good enough.

“I said I would walk from Chicago to (Washington) D.C. That’s a statement,” Gurel said Wednesday.

Gurel, a physician from Chicago, is walking 700 miles from his hometown to Washington to bring attention to the health care reform issue being debated in the nation’s capital.

Along the way, Gurel is collecting stories from people about health care problems they are facing and he hopes to meet with members of Congress to share the experiences.

Gurel, who has been walking since June 27, said he has talked to people in coffee houses, gas stations and stores to record their health care experiences and is posting the stories on his blog at http://walk4healthcare.org.

5. Sounds like a nice summer vacation

If he really wanted to make a statement he'd walk out of Chicago in the middle of winter.
