Aetna Sit-In for Single Payer, Medicare for All, September 29, 2009

[macroinnovation]

Yep, my experience is that Aetna is a good for nothing scumball company that uses some pretty creative tactics to try and weasel out of their obligations. In fact, my doctor calls them "AETNO". We go with Blue Cross Blue Shield.

One day they're going to reject a borderline marine sniper. I think we can all imagine what happens next.

[orionasmb]

[urna55]

@BenjaminLaird Lucky bastard, why do all Canadians have to rub it in. LOL

[castingtherunes]

Bomb Aetna. Bunch of capitalistic kikes.

[roadkarper]

An one the streets protest should be organized, more people may get involved if they didn't run the risk of being arrested. Many people want to join in but just don't want to be arrested and have it put on their record.

[independentview1]

Let me get this straight.

More people will protest for a Socialist Government Health Insurance program that puts people in prison for not buying into the program, but only if they don't get put in prison for protesting.

That's Liberal thinking alright.

[Naviculaie]

corporate money grubbing whore

[independentview1]

[worldfreenow100]

Below is a list of the Democratic Senators that voted against the "Public Option" and the healthcare lobbying money that they received in 2008. My source is Open Secrets. Remember, this in ONLY 2008.

Blanche Lincoln: $1,104,186

Kent Conrad: $951,328

Bill Nelson: $608,559

Vote these greedy fuckers out of office when their term is up! They are in bed with the lobbyists and don't give a shit about their constitutents.

[lilredtruck]

every single one of the people making this action possible is my hero.

[rlsimmonsjr]

right on

[PotheadPundit]

good work. you should look into making some lock boxes. You can make them with pvc piping and then handcuff yourselves together inside the pipes. Then smear tar on the insides of the pipes so any blade used to cut them will be destroyed. It takes a long time to clean up.

[uberwindet]

super fierce!

[SuperEvilC]

Acts of civil disobedience EVERY SINGLE DAY... take it straight to the problem.

[SuperEvilC]

Oh yeah... even if you're by yourself.... it will all add up.

[btxusa]

Good job participants!

[Davidmeimers]

Hurray! I hope an avalanche of civil disobedience is unleashed against these corporate crooks. And in the house of Congress and the Whitehouse. We need millions of people participating. Hurray!

[WunderMaus]

Civil disobedience is not only our right, it is our responsibility. Cover or disguise your faces, bring a change of clothes, shoes, too. Don't make it easy for them. Swarm abductions. Be unpredictable.

When ACT UP sat in at drug manufacturers' buildings, the drug people could immediately lower prices. You are sitting in at a corporate building... to ask the GOVERNMENT to expand Medicare to all people. What can Aetna do here? Release their resistance to the Medicare-for-all bill practically bursting through Congress?

[itsyonathan]

We were demanding that Aetna immediately approve doctor-ordered treatments for all life-threatening conditions, or else that we would not leave.That was the idea. If private insurers cannot guarantee coverage for doctor-ordered treatments, the argument goes... Medicare for ALL. So clearly, Aetna and the rest know what to do! If they cannot deliver...

[maxx1000]

Ummm Thoroughly,

When AETNA DENIES treatment, IT IS NOT the Government's fault.

When AETNA lobbies Congress to stop alternative methods of affordable coverage for life saving treatments, THEN THAT IS AETNA'S DOING!

The only reason I can see that you would take the position you do is because on some level you think Americans DO NOT DESERVE affordable health care. I hope I am wrong, but from what you positioned, otherwise is difficult.
