Video: Cancer Victim Rips Hypocrites in Congress over Single Payer Issue

Adrienne Campbell of Dearborn, MI, was diagnosed with cervical cancer at age 22. Her insurer denied coverage for a highly suspect legal reason. Ms. Campbell went $8,000 in debt to cover the cost of her treatment. At age 26, and uninsured, she developed ovarian cancer. Currently, at age 27, she’s over $10,000 in debt, but, mercifully, cancer free. At a rally on Capitol Hill, on May 13, 2009, in support of a Single Payer Healthcare system, Ms. Campbell said: “I’m angry that these politicians, (read member of the U.S. Congress), get their health care handed to them on a silver platter, courtesy of our tax dollars. I want the same high quality of health care for me, my family and every single American.” Ms. Campbell is supporting HR 676 and S 703. Meanwhile, on May 5, 2009, Single Payer advocates, were barred from having their voices heard by the Chair of the Senate Finance Committee, Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT). Only the Fat Cats from the HMOs, Insurance and Pharmaceutical Industries were welcomed at his table. In fact, eight activists, “The Baucus Eight,” were arrested for challenging the rigged system.
