DESCRIPTION:
download PDF (45.6 kibibytes) On Wednesday, October 28, a variety of groups with the message ?patients not profits,? and ?insurance companies are the real death panels? will hold a sit-in with civil disobedience, street theater, music, and a rally at an insurance company in Glendale.



"The insurance industry is the main cause of the collapse of the American health care system. It should not be part of the solution," said Matt Hendrickson, MD MPH, a doctor who will be risking arrest on Wednesday at the CIGNA health insurance office in Glendale, CA. "I'm putting myself on the line because I can no longer stand to see my patients struggle to afford the care they need while one out of every three health care dollars in our country goes to pay for administration and insurance company profits."

The sit-in is part of the Patients Not Profit campaign of the Mobilization for Health Care for All. The mobilization was launched by the organizations Prosperity Agenda, Healthcare-NOW!, and the Center for the Working Poor. The upcoming LA action has been organized by the Center for the Working Poor.

Participants in Wednesday?s act of civil disobedience think that the health care bill fails to address the real cause of our health care crisis, the insurance companies. They will point out that health insurance companies that deny people the care they need are the real death panels.
