DESCRIPTION:A broad coalition of Bay Area and state-wide political single payer 
 advocates will hold a two hour rally in favor of "Medicare-for-all" (i.e. 
 single payer health care) and in opposition to the health insurance 
 industry. \n\nThe rally will explain why a single payer health care system 
 will meet the medical needs of all Americans.  \n\nThe rally participants 
 are calling for the end of private health insurance.  These insurance 
 companies spend 30 cents of each health care dollar on profits and 
 administrative costs while insuring the healthy and avoiding the sick.
