Health Care Protesters Arrested

Tuesday, at a Senate hearing on health care policy, several members of the audience were arrested for shouting out when Chairman Max Baucus tried to gavel the Committee to order. The protesters were doctors, nurses and other medical professionals. They were there representing a single payer option. They were in the audience because they were NOT invited to sit at the table by the Chairman Baucus. That spot was reserved for pharmaceutical and medical product lobbyist, representatives from the insurance industry, and representatives from HMO's.....

So, this is how it's going to be....you give Chairman Baucus Hundred's of THOUSANDS of dollars....and you get a seat at the table....you come representing the "not for profit", single payer coalition health care wing, and you get no seat at the table....and arrested for speaking up.

This is our government....we pay taxes....single payer health care is our government, using our taxes to get us the health care we want...when we want it, where we want it, and from whom we want it from....Senator Baucus and his fellow members of Congress work for us...they are paid by us...yet they seem only interested in representing those corporate interest that contribute to their campaigns...it is time for Baucus to be challenged....it is time for any Democrat not on board single payer, to be challenged....they will be coming home soon on recess....let them know you want single payer health care now!!!
