It's beyond sad the Americans have to resort to this just to get health care. No other civilized nation treats their citizens as cash cows when a life is on the line.

The system here is awful and insurance companies are ripping us all of (and spending hundreds of millions to flood the airwaves with lies and fake "grassroots" events funded and spurred on by lobbying groups).

teabaggers are controlled by the republican party, and pose no threat to the status quo.

the health care protesters have a legit argument.

that's why.

I think this was part of a national sit-in campaign for medicare for all targeting insurance companies, so they were probably arrested for blocking the entrance and/or sitting down when told that the CEO wouldn't come down or let them up. We did the same thing in Chicago last Thursday, and we'll do it again on the next national day of action on the 28th. Thank you protesters!!!!!!
