What's the Fix? 676!
June 1, 2009, Kent, OH
Nearing 40 in number, enthusiastic single-payer activists stood on a busy corner in Kent this afternoon, holding signs with messages such as "Pass HR 676," "Healthcare does not equal health insurance," and "Healthcare NOT Warfare" while chanting "Insurance companies kill! Support this bill!" and "What's the fix? 676!"
Passersby's responses were positive, giving thumbs up and honking to requests of "Honk for Healthcare!"
A clothesline of 14 t-shirts hung between two trees with signs explaining that fourteen Ohioans die every week due to lack of health insurance. One sign read “Save lives-fight for Medicare For All-HR 676"
Organized by healthcare activist extraordinaire Drew Smith and PDA's PDC Steering Committee member and newly elected SPAN Region 6 Coordinator Debbie Silverstein, this rally and demonstration were part of the May 30th National Single-Payer Healthcare Day of Action.
