Single Payer Health Care advocates engage in civil disobedience

Congress and their health care lobbyists exclude single payer advocates from hearings screwing the American people for corporate profits.

From Democracy Now web site on May 13, 2009:

Advocates of single-payer universal healthcare—the system favored by most Americans—continue to protest their exclusion from discussions on healthcare reform. On Tuesday, five doctors, nurses and single-payer advocates were arrested at a Senate Finance Committee hearing, bringing the total number of arrests in less than a week to thirteen. We speak with two of those arrested: Single Payer Action founder Russell Mokhiber and Dr. Margaret Flowers of Physicians for a National Health Program.
