That's good news for that kid but, of course, in the larger sense, whether or not you're going to get treatment for your medical condition paid for shouldn't depend on how effective you can be at organizing a public protest campaign ...

Healthcare Activists Plan June 19th as National Day of Action Against Health Insurance Companies

Thousands to Gather in San Francisco and Around Country as 38,000 Insurance Industry Executives Meet for Annual AHIP Convention

Nurses, Doctors, Patients, Consumer Activists Call for Guaranteed, Single-Payer Healthcare-"Patients Not Profits"

Seeking an end to the healthcare crisis that is destroying American lives and families, thousands of healthcare activists will descend on San Francisco and on cities around the country this June 19th as part of an unprecedented national day of protests against health insurance corporations-and in support of guaranteed, single-payer healthcare, the
"Medicare for All" system succeeding in nearly every other industrialized democracy.

The protests will demand a healthcare system focused on patients, not profits, and are being coordinated by the Leadership Conference on Guaranteed Healthcare, a coalition group representing hundreds of thousands of members. Learn more at http://www.GuaranteedHealthcare.org.

The national day of action is timed in conjunction with the annual convention of America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), the insurance industry lobbying group dedicated to blocking healthcare reform….

Anyone ever read The RainMaker By John Grisham?
That book shows the "heart " of insurance companies.
I watched sicko Today and that was also a pretty revolting picture of health care in US.
What is wrong with us?
