Video: Rally for Single Payer at Union Station, in Washington, D.C.

Activists for a single payer health care system staged a lively rally in front of historic Union Station, in Washington, D.C., on Friday evening, June 26, 2009. Dr. Margaret Flowers of Baltimore, MD was one of the speakers. She said: “Health care is a Human Right. And, this is a Rights’ based movement...Don’t give up,” the fight on single payer. “We’ve got to make it happen. Don’t stop!”
The healthcare activists are supporting HR 676 and S 703, now pending before the U.S. Congress. Dr. Flowers was one of the “Baucus Eight,” who were arrested on May 5, 2009, in the Dirksen Office Building, on Capitol Hill, for speaking out at a Senate Finance Committee. Its chairman, Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT), had arbitrarily barred single payer champions from participating in the healthcare debate.
