Single Payer Health Care Halloween Rally at Cigna Health Care Offices

Activists spoke and chanted in front of the building. They went into the lobby to go up to the Cigna offices, but were denied access to the elevators by security guards. The rally continued briefly in the lobby and returned to the street as police arrived to "supervise" the building. Demands to Congress for the health care reform bill include a robust public option, no taxation of health care plans, and that employers pay their fair share.

Activists also demanded that Cigna stop spending money that should go to health care on lobbying to block the real reform that working people need. Single Payer Now activists collected post cards to President Obama and Governor Schwartzeneger demanding passage of the current State and Federal Single Payer Health Care bills.

Activists are also encouraged to call their Congress members to demand that Dennis Kucinich's bill, which gives individual states the right to pass single payer bills, be included in the health care reform bill. If all of the above are included in the bill, some real progress may be possible.
