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.
