Health care: Change the discourse with your own demonstration

Posted on August 25, 2009 by kwilder

Instead of worrying about The Right showing up screaming against health care reform, these folks figured out what should probably have been done all along. People who believe in Single-Payer need to get loud and do some appearances at “moderate” and other “Obama-style” health care dog and pony shows. Excellent coverage–including video–of single-payer folks who […]

Jack Bauer wants Single-Payer Universal Healthcare

Posted on August 13, 2009 by iwilder

At a protest in 2000 against efforts to roll back the Medicare system in the province of Alberta, Kiefer Sutherland defended Canada’s public, single-payer system:
