The People’s Rally, in DC, at Malcolm X Park, for Single Payer (Part 3 of 3)
from: William Hughes
On Sunday, July 26, 2009, in Malcolm X Park, in Washington, DC, “The People’s Rally” for a Single Payer Healthcare system was held. It featured a “Speak Out” by the uninsured and the underinsured; and by patients, doctors, nurses, political and community leaders. This video features Mikuak Rai, who also served as the moderator of the program; along with Dr. Carol A. Price. She resides in Leonardtown, MD. Dr. Price is also a member of the fabled “Baucus 8,” who dared to challenge, on May 5, 2009, the Finance Committee of the U.S. Senate for barring Single Payer advocates from the table. Check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncb58qnDyxs&feature=channel_page The lively event was sponsored and supported by the Labor Campaign for Single-Payer, Metropolitan Washington Council AFL-CIO, Healthcare Now, and the Spirit of Truth Foundation.
