THANKS to the brave EIGHT Single-Payer advocates for speaking up on behalf of all of us. Not 1 of the 15people who testified was a single payer advocate. Its time for the American people to demand single payer. Write Senator Max Baucus-Montana, the CHAIR of the financing committee and your Congress rep to ensure that single-payer advocates from official hearings on health reform.

The insurance industry sounds more and more like pirates. They demand ransom to allow any health care reforms.

Hauled away by the authorities. Just like the men who betrayed Saddam Hussein. Were they taken out back and shot?

Senate = shameful whores.

Thanks to all who took part in these actions.

Thank you for such a courageous and creative action--let's hope it marks a tipping point and that thousands more decent, caring Americans will step forward to engage in similar actions again and again, until we have real healthcare reform in our country.

Improved Medicare-for-All NOw!!

Single payer is the only solution to healthcare costs and lack of service.

Thanks to the eight who stood up for what millions of us believe is the right way to go. Shame on these Senators who no doubt have been bought and paid for by the for-profit medical industry.
