An Activist Interview

Fighting the Good Fight from BillMoyers.com on Vimeo.

It was a great talk by Dr. Friedman last night with a large crowd of 70. The outrage was definitely there.  A video by Julie Sokolow will be forthcoming of the talk. Posted here is an interview with former Green Party Presidential Candidate Jill Stein and Physician Margaret Flowers on how to use the information gained from researchers like Friedman and this site.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) launched a 21 hour pseudofilibuster on a bill with a provision which he voted for to defund the Affordable Care Act which Jon Stewart beautifully lampoons above.  He claimed that the act would increase premiums for everyone and for small businesses while denying care.  The White House came out with data projecting what premiums will be for each state including Pennsylvania which looks cheaper that what I'm paying now.  The full report can be read here.  The proof will be in the pudding when the exchanges start operating Oct. 1 on the cost and adequacy of care.  Ted Cruz's state has 25.7% uninsured.

As an aside, Healthcare for All PA has been featured in The Huffington Post in an article by Linda Bergthold.  The Economic Impact Study, The Healthy Artists Project, and The State Single Payer bills are discussed.

I received this message from Julie Sokolow at Healthy Artists.

Hi All,

I'm happy to announce that a 30 minute Health Care 4 All PA program will soon air ten dates on PCTV!

The description is:   Dynamic interviews with students, doctors, politicians, activists, artists, and more reveal what Pittsburgh thinks about universal health care.

The 30 minute program combines 8-10 different journalistic mini-segments that have been building on our youtube channel over the past year.  After each segment, our website is advertised as well as the location of our Squirrel Hill office.  We might be seeing some new faces in the office due to this exposure!  Here are the dates the show will air.  Feel free to forward this email along to interested parties:

The following 10 dates are scheduled for the program "Health Care Reform Perspectives - The health care reform debate”  on Comcast channel 21 or Verizon Channel 47 or streamed live on http://www.pctv21.org/ and here
