Thousands of local residents, as well as Massachusetts politicians, gathered Sunday afternoon to denounce plans by the president-elect and Republicans in Congress to revoke President Obama’s signature health care law, also known as “Obamacare.”

A massive crowd, estimated at more than 6,000 by city officials, packed the plaza outside Faneuil Hall for the rally.
