L.A. Calls Out Feinstein on Health Care

JonRaymond
Bill Pullen, arrested Thursday at the Blue Cross sit-in, leads the crowd in songs "This Land" and his own "Roll the Movement On."

"What kind of country treats their people this way?" A few hundred pro-reformers gathered in front of Diane Feinstein's L.A. offices as part of a nationwide candlelight vigil for health care reform. Among the crowd were about ten confederate anti-reform disruptors who attempted to use bullhorns and signs, but were stopped by police who maintained courtesy for protesters on both sides of the issue. The ten or so confederates waved anti-Obama and ant-socialism signs and made a lot of noise in an apparent attempt to make the rally of a few hundred appear as an anti-reform rally. But they were drowned out by the pro-reformers and songs bringing the reformers together.

L.A. City Councilman Bill Rosendahl called out Feinstein by name demanding that she go along with the public option. Dr. Alice Chen spoke of the Hippocratic oath that states doctors should take care of the sick above all in a fair and just manner. Other victims of health care insurance testified to their plights.

    • Hi inofuilwell,

      Just wanted to address your questions. We didn't pull this video down, but sometimes video errors do crop up on the site. We checked out our logs, and it doesn't look like there was an outage on our end in this case. Other things that can cause video errors include low bandwith or connection issues in your home network, or connection issues from your ISP. I know it's frustrating--I actually run into this a lot at home, because I have a very weak wireless signal--but I hope this addresses some of your concerns.

      Best,
      Steph

      I agree with you that insurance companies suck. I have experienced that personally. I just think that govt sucks as well and won't necessarily do a better job.

    • This is amazing!

      And to you samthesixth. What insurance company do you work for? Did you even listen to the whole clip?

      Please abandon the notion that insurance companies left to their own devices are good for anybody but their own stockholders and CEO's.

      To allow greedy profiteers who are never satisfied with anything but PURE PROFIT to control your care is pure FOLLY! Allowing insurers to push policies with less and less exposure and to make more and more money off the sick is as cold-blooded as it gets!
