Jobs for Justice/HCAN healthcare rally

I attended the healthcare rally downtown yesterday. There was an estimate from Amy S of the Jobs for Justice that 200 pro-reform healthcare folks were in attendance. Several speakers and they knew their stuff. Healthcare horror stories abound and just within our own little group; scores of these tragic tales could be honestly told.

Teabaggers had a dozen folks. Think perhaps the teabaggers loosing steam in St. Louis?

I will give a more detailed account at our next meeting.

so far, no good photos or vids on internet of the occasion. Believe it or not, media did not cover the event.

Seems media does not care to cover healthcare stuff. Nothing changed. This is the sixth healthcare demonstration/rally I have attended in the last three years that media did not care to cover.

Cops? A lot more friendly than those at the Sicko premiere rally by the way.

Unions? not as many in attendance as I would have prefered. Note: If unions cannot or will not support positive social policies, who then will do the job? Think that might be one reason that things in the toilet across the nation?
