Thousands of people showed up in freezing temperatures on Sunday at a community college in Michigan where Sen. Bernie Sanders called on Americans to resist Republican efforts to repeal President Barack Obama's health care law, one of a number of rallies Democrats staged across the country to highlight opposition. Labor unions were a strong presence at the rally with several signs for the UAW, which represents auto workers. People also carried signs including "Save our Health Care," and "Michigan Stands." He has been one of the strongest advocates for the health care law, which has delivered health coverage to about 20 million people but is saddled with problems such as rapidly rising premiums and large co-payments. The health law has provided subsidies and Medicaid coverage for millions who don't get insurance at work.
