CIGNA Kills Girl, Doctor Arrested

JonRaymond
Grigor Sarkisyan tells us of his daughter who was denied treatment and died because of it, as Dr. Matt Hendrickson MD and others get arrested and protesters chant "CIGNA profits, people die, arrest the real criminals." This happened in Glendale CA as similar sit-ins at health insurance companies take place around the country. Over 900 people have signed up to risk arrest at these ongoing sit-ins including a number of doctors. They do not accept the public option as the answer to this problem. Only a single payer system that covers all Americans at affordable costs is acceptable and these rallies and sit-ins will continue until that happens.

This clip contains deleted scenes from the documentary film, got healthcare?

    • These are the people i really admire in life, not pathetic celebrities. But people willing to be arrested to fight for their rights, it's just a shame they have to take the chance of being arrested, you would think that the police would see sense, but obviously they work for the government, not the people who pay their wages.
      national healthcare will feel like it's better, but speaking from experience, having an NHS doesnt solve any problems, you still have to wait for appointments, and dont get the best care, companies will still find ways to make profit, we can never win and be truly healthy when we have so many corrupt people in power.
