Dr. Ottoway: "American Dream is Gone. We Need Single Payer, Now!"

On Wednesday afternoon, September 30, 2009, the "Mad as Hell Doctors" rallied in front of the White House, in Lafayette Park. The group supports a Single Payer Healthcare System. Two of their slogans are: "Everybody In! Nobody Out!" and "Single Payer or Bust!" The doctors have been on a nationwide tour promoting their cause. One of the speakers at the spirited event was Dr. Katherine Ottoway, a family physician. She's a "mad as hell doctor" from Port Townsend, WA. She related how the current medical system, in a particular case of a heart attack victim who was denied insurance coverage, is destroying the "American Dream. We need single payer, now! " Dr. Margaret Flowers of Baltimore, who helped to organize the rally, also served as the MC for it.
