Rally Against the Insurance Industry

In Washington, DC on Tuesday, March 10th, hundreds of people rallied for real health care reform and against the insurance industry: http://www.healthcareforamericanow.org

America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), the main health insurance industry lobbyist group, was having a "health care reform" conference, trying to pay lip service to reform while at the same time, opposing the heart of President Obama's health care reform plan. We wanted to make sure America saw through the insurance industry's lies. They are the enemy of health care reform.

A broad coalition of reform supporters, from proponents of Obama's health care plan to single payer advocates, tried to present Karen Ignagni, AHIP's CEO, with an award for "Best Protector of Profits at the Expense of Our Health." She was too scared to face the crowd and accept the award, but Health Care for America Now will make sure it follows her around the country until she accepts.

Thanks for your 50,000 trolls lying on YouTube, Karen. It's in writing. So, now we can easily SUE them for bad faith and shut down insurance.

Insurance (including it's employees) are not allowed to lie in order to deny coverage -- it's bad faith and citizens who are harmed can sue to recover damages

That's US everyone.

That's nothing.  Pharma kills 100,000 a year, enabled by our government - that would be Congress, the FDA (representing the Administration) and doctors on the take.

All the costs in hospitals is going to treat illegals! My friend is a nurse and at her hospital they CANNOT turn away anyone. Needless to say they are flooded by illegals. She says there are 300 babies born each day by illegals! We are paying for that cost with our taxes!

48 million people without healthcare.

Yea this isn't a problem, keep your eyes closed congress...

The truth is, our for profit system, is causing 18,000 deaths a year, that's 3 9/11's every year.

Where is the outrage? Healthcare, NOW!
