Join Nurses In Protest Against Profit-Hungry Insurance Industry

Members of the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee (CNA/NNOC) are fighting back against insurance companies that care more about profits than people.

CNA/NNOC members, nurses, doctors, patients and Americans of every stripe will join in a national day of protest against insurance companies June 19. In more than 15 cities from Baltimore to Pittsburgh to San Antonio, workers will call for a quality, affordable health care system for all.

The largest protest is expected in San Francisco, where thousands will rally outside the annual convention of America’s Health Insurance Plans—the insurance industry lobbyists. To find out more or to join a protest in your area, click here.

We have noted many times that the nation’s health care system is in crisis. Not only are nearly 50 million people without health insurance, but a recent study shows some 25 million people who have insurance are finding it harder and harder to pay for it or are going without needed medical treatment because of the costs.
