GRITtv: Nurses Continue to Protest Senate Healthcare Hearings
Geri Jenkins, a registered nurse and co-president of the California Nurses Association, brings us up to date on continuing protests against the exclusion of single payer advocates at Senate Finance Committee hearings on healthcare. As the hearing began 25 protesters stood and turned their backs to the senators. They were wearing signs that called on congress to pass a single payer system. "Nurses say patients first," the signs read. "Pass single payer." Though most of the protesters left after about five minutes, a few remained to voice their opposition. Two nurses and three physicians were arrested.

nurses protest
Looks like we still have the best healthcare money can buy and the best senate. It encourages me that the senate finance committee would care more for HMO, Insurance and Drug companies bottom lines than the American people. Change We can believe In---not.
Long live Max Baucus and his Bannana Republic committee whom will let his buddies feast on the public treasury.
Arresting single-payer healthcare folks and then having the panel suggest taxing healthcare benefits, that was the way to go senator. Good the senator "respects" us.
