Single Payer Health Care at the October 17 SF Anti-War Rally and March
Don Bechler, organizer for Single Payer Now, speaks at the anti-war rally on the need for a single payer health care system instead of adaptations of the current high-cost, low yield system. He rightfully compares U.S. health care and war policy as two sides of the same coin. It was really encouraging to hear two labor speakers and others also call for single payer. For more information and to get involved locally in the growing movement, which Bechler reports has almost doubled in size in the past year, go to singlepayernow.net (5:16)
