Hundreds Protest for Single Payer Health Care

Asheville, NC - People from all over western North Carolina protested here in Pritchard Park, June 27, to demand a single payer system in which health care is provided to all people, with those able to paying their fair share.

The protest was organized by Western North Carolina for Change (WNC for Change), an organization that campaigned at a grassroots level for the historic Nov. 4, 2008 defeat of the Republicans. There was a clear realization in the crowd that this fight is will be a long one and that it is people in the streets who are going to make the real change happen.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
