Advocates of single-payer universal healthcare—the system favored by most Americans—continue to protest their exclusion from discussions on healthcare reform. On Tuesday, five doctors, nurses and single-payer advocates were arrested at a Senate Finance Committee hearing, bringing the total number of arrests in less than a week to thirteen. We speak with two of those arrested: Single Payer Action founder Russell Mokhiber and Dr. Margaret Flowers of Physicians for a National Health Program.
Guests:
Russell Mokhiber, founder of Single Payer Action. He was arrested last week at the first Senate Finance Committee hearing on healthcare reform. He is also editor of the Corporate Crime Reporter.
Dr. Margaret Flowers, pediatrician in Baltimore and co-chair of the Maryland chapter of Physicians for a National Health Program.
