Single Payer Minute Goes Coastal
Posted by Donna Smith - S... on October 2, 2008 - 6:23amThere is no time to waste. Join the action. Take just a moment every week to work for single payer, guaranteed healthcare for all.
No bail-outs needed. Just publicly financed, privately delivered healthcare for everyone in America.
Freedom to choose, freedom to live a healthy life, freedom to leave this nation in better shape for our kids and grandkids. It is up to us.
Why was Charity Hospital "erased"?
Posted by nyceve on September 3, 2008 - 7:46amThe video you've just watched, answers some questions about the awful "decision" to close Charity Hospital. It's a real eye-opener. I urge you to watch it during these bleak days of media analysis on the Republican vice presidential nomination.
Surely you remember Charity Hospital three short years ago, during the terrible days of Katrina?
Charity, like Grady in Atlanta, Cook County in Chicago, Parkland in Dallas, and many others--all are under financial siege. They are also iconic American healthcare institutions.
Before it was shuttered, Charity had one million ER visits a year.
Eighty five percent of the people who came through its doors had no insurance--no Medicare, no Medicaid, nothing.
Yearly KOS 2007: "Bloggers Talk Healthcare" SEE THE VIDEO HERE!

I blogged from the convention last week about the workshops I attended, how diversity had dramatically increased from the first Yearly KOS in Vegas, and how healthcare relates to cultural diversity, video production, and union organizing.
