Hundreds of union members, seniors, and healthcare activists
attended a rally in downtown San Francisco for single payer
healthcare, held outside a health insurers’ convention on June
19, 2008. Speakers like Hene Kelly of United Educators of San
Francisco (listen to her four-minute speech below) urged support
for single payer healthcare. Embodied in SB 810 in California, it
would eliminate the insurance corporation middleman, which wastes
an average of more than one quarter of every healthcare dollar
for administrative costs and profits.
