A word about protests
Meet UnitedHealth CEO Stephen Hemsley, Opponent of Reform
Last Thursday, fifty protesters, holding umbrellas and candles, stood outside Helmsley's mansion, in the rain, and screened a video that contrasted his exhorbitant income and lifestyle, and UnitedHealth's huge profits, with the millions of Americans who go without insurance or bankrupt themselves with medical bills.
Has the moment come for civil disobedience?
Time to go to Jail; Civil Disobedience Campaign "Patients NOT Profits: Healthcare for All"
On September 29th in New York City, the Mobilization for Health Care for All is launching a campaign of "Patients Not Profit" sit-ins at insurance company offices to demand an end to a system that profits by denying people care and puts insurance company bureaucrats between doctors and patients. We want the real "public option": improved Medicare for All, a national single payer plan that cuts out the profit and puts patients first.
Private insurance death panels are killing people every day and blocking real health care reform.It's time for nonviolent civil disobedience to turn the tide.
