Gaza Situation #4

President Obama has called for people with a better approach to health care reform to contact him. Doctors Carol Paris and Margaret Flowers have tried to take him up on this, but they lead a doctors organization that calls for single payer, in other words free medical care paid out of taxes. Obama once supported this but no longer. The President will meet with Big Pharma, the health insurance industry and the Republicans, but he wont even given Democrats in Congress who favor single payer the time of day.

We continue with coverage of efforts to end the siege of Gaza. In January in New York City there was an event called Beyond the Gaza Freedom March with people who had gone to Egypt to try to get into Gaza and people who supported them.
