Baucus’s Raucous Caucus: Doctors, Nurses, Activists Arrested Again for Protesting Exclusion of Single-Payer Advocates/ Senate Healthcare Hearing

Advocates of single-payer universal healthcare—the system favored by most Americans—continue to protest their exclusion from discussions on healthcare reform.

We speak with two of those arrested: Single Payer Action founder Russell Mokhiber and Dr. Margaret Flowers of Physicians for a National Health Program.
