Baucus's Raucous Caucus: Doctors, Nurses and Activists Arrested Again for Protesting Exclusion of Single-Payer Advocates at Senate Hearing on Healthcare

Advocates of single-payer universal healthcare—the system favored by most Americans—continue to protest their exclusion from discussions on healthcare reform. On Tuesday, five doctors, nurses and single-payer advocates were arrested at a Senate Finance Committee hearing, bringing the total number of arrests in less than a week to thirteen. We speak with two of those arrested: Single Payer Action founder Russell Mokhiber and Dr. Margaret Flowers of Physicians for a National Health Program. [includes rush transcript]

  • Russell, Thank you so much for doing all of this!

  • In Calif. Arnold & his CorpCannibals have devoured the disabled & their workmen's compensation Insurance! If your injured your covered for two years & then go bankrupt from medical bills from an on the job injury!

    Calif. legislators passed a SinglePayer legislation only to have it vetoed by this Governator! If your chronically (long term) disabled in this state you will go BANKRUPT! This is their CorpPlan to devour disabledAmericans before they can get well!

  • Very good video. I have read some comments of disagree. Evrybdy is entitld to their opinion. How many of them would be the same if lost job and insurance?

    I hope the folks come to believe, that single-payer comes quickly,

    hard to believe so many folks think our care's so great,

    while one bad illness away from bankruptcy.

    .

    A-For-Da-Ble Health will save our economy,

    it is in the best interest of everybody,

    if every job moves out of the country,

    than tell me whose gonna pay the medical fee?

  • You obviously have no idea what the term "single payer" means.

  • Single payer doesn't have the money to line the pockets of Senators like Baucus. Just think how many Americans are denied doctor ordered care when health exec.'s like William McGuire get a golden parachute of1.1 billion dollars. This is after he back dated stock options to valued at over 1.6 billion. These are the kind of people who run our health insurance industry. Might as well rename them: Gambino United, Genovese Cross,Colombo Shield. The mafia would prob. sue for defamation of character.

  • Weird that this video refuse to load beyond a few seconds. I've never experienced that before.

  • ★★★★★
