Health Care Supporters Rally to Confront Big Insurance

Today’s the kind of day I wish I were in D.C. Thousands of health care reform supporters, progressives, workers and union activists rallied in Washington to conduct a “citizens arrest” of the big insurance companies.

The rally, organized by Health Care for America NOW! (HCAN), began this morning at Dupont Circle followed by a march to the Ritz-Carlton hotel. That’s where the giant health insurance lobby group AHIP is having its annual meetings.
