Video: Dr. Margaret Flowers Urges Single Payer Health Care System

On June 19, 2008, a national protest was held in 19 cities across the country with regards to the health care crisis which impacts on millions of Americans’ lives. Activists in Baltimore City participated in the action. They mounted a picket at the corners of Lombard and Charles St. in the downtown area, where Care First: Blue Cross, Blue Shield has an office. One of the activists I interviewed was Dr. Margaret Flowers. She supports a “Single Payer Health Care System.” Advocates for change and genuine reform on the federal level are supporting H.R. 676, a/k/a the “U.S. National Health Insurance Act.” For background on this important issue, checkout:
