Health care reform is once again taking center stage in downtown Orlando.

Hundreds turned out at the Orlando Recreational Center to rally in favor of health care for all Americans on Saturday.

People were dancing, singing and chanting that they want health care reform and they want it now.

To get the health care reform bill passed, the people brought in the Orlando Magic's good luck charm Gina Marie Incandela to sing the National Anthem.

The rally was organized by labor unions, community groups and several local and state politicians under the name Health Care for America NOW.

Rep. Alan Grayson helped kick things off. He also addressed the people who have concerns about the health care reform bill.

"Take your time, make sure you think about it," Grayson said.

Some stood in front of the crowd to share their own health care issues.

"I never get the type of health care I should have because I don't have insurance," said Eddie Yarborough, who supports health care reform.

Their main goal was to get across one major point: "We are here because health care is not a privilege, it is a right," said Sen. Dan Gelber.

Some disagree, like small business owner Jim Gurley.

"I feel like people should be responsible for their own health care, and that's not the government paying for it, not me paying for it," Gurley said.

The supporters think otherwise.

"They are blind and ignorant," said Matthew LeClair. "They don't understand what the nation needs and what this country needs."

Although it was extremely loud at times, everyone stood in silence to pay their respects to the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, who worked so hard on health care reform.
