UNITED HEALTH HAD CITIZENS ARRESTED IN MPLS YESTERDAY.

Ordinary Americans care enough about health care abuses to get arrested over it. How much do Congress  and the Obama administration care?  Enough to pass REAL reform, or just enough to pass a fake bill created by the insurance industry so Obama can get his health care scout’s badge and the corrupt industry can get millions of new customers?

Health care activists in Minnesota were arrested yesterday for refusing to leave when police tried to break up their rally in front of UnitedHealth, the nation’s largest private insurer. Mike McEntee of the Uptake did this very moving video, where they are singing “We Shall Overcome” as they are handcuffed and taken away.

Reverend Grant Stevenson of St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church preached to those assembled:

We need to send a message that it is not OK to profit on other people’s misery. It is not OK to profit on other people’s despair. It is not OK to profit when other people are living in fear and anxiety and not knowing they’re actually going to get the basic care that they’re going to need.
