Chicago “Cigna 7″: Arrest This
October 8, 2009

Seven members of various Chicago single payer groups put their butts on the line this morning by placing them firmly on the floor of the Chicago Cigna headquarters lobby, and refused to remove them until the Chicago police did it for them.

Apparently word hadn’t reached them that Senator Max had taken single payer off the table, or more likely it had, and they don’t rightfully give a good goddam what Max says.
Or anyone that insists for-profit health care financing is anything but a moral, ethical and fiscal abomination.

Representing the Illinois Single Payer Coalition, the Chicago Single Payer Action Network, Progressive Democrats of America and Physicians for a National Health Care Program, the Cigna 7 were taken into custody by the Chicago police late this morning.

Here’s what it looked like:

Special Thanks to Chicago Single Payer Action Network

Submitted by lorinpda on Fri, 10/09/2009 - 10:06am.

I just wanted to offer special thanks to Chicago Single Payer Action Network (CSPAN) http://chispan.org/ for organizing this action. CSPAN executed a well planned action that paid off big time. This action has been carried by the national media, including Television, Radio, Newspaper and Online.

Just as important, CSPAN stayed "on message" -- Health Care is a Human Right -- Medicare for All. That message was thus carried and disseminatd sucessfully by the media.
