Feb 2 in SF,CA - Protest Blue's Sheild's Outrageous Rate Hikes

Protest Blue Shield's Outrageous Rate Hikes
Tuesday 11am February 1
At Blue Shield Headquarters
58 Beale St in San Francisco
(Embarcadero BART/MUNI)
Healthcare Yes!
Insurance Companies No!
 
Dear Single Payer Healthcare Activist,
 
Please join the California Nurses Association and Single Payer Now activists at this demonstration against Blue Shield's outrageous 59% rate increase.  This is a clear example of why we need real health insurance reform – like that offered by SB 810, the California Universal Healthcare Act (single payer).
 
We encourage you to forward this alert.
We need volunteers to hold banners, and distribute leaflets for our Feb. 2 meeting – see leaflet below.
___ I plan to attend Tuesday's 11am protest.
___ I can hold a banner or sign.
___ I can distribute leaflets and postcards.
___ I have forwarded this alert.
___ I want to make a financial contribution to build the campaign for healthcare minus the insurance companies.  To make a contribution, click here.
Or you can send a contribution to
Single Payer Now
PO Box 460622
SF, CA 94146
 
Thank you.

Stop the Corporate Stranglehold over Our Healthcare System
 
How do we weaken the corporate stranglehold over our health care system?
How do we protect Medicare and Social Security during an onslaught to reduce the deficit on the back of our most valuable social programs?
What's next for states fighting for single-payer health care?
