'Million Patient March'
What would you call a march on Washington for universal 'public option' health care?

How about '46 Million March' for the number of Americans without Health Insurance.

Ideas?

2. If one million people march on Washington...
and DEMAND honest healthcare reform...it might just work.

Right now the best we can hope for is some watered down form of healthcare. Insurance will probably be MORE expensive and the care inferior to what is is today. The big corporations will have won once again. When you look at the size of the purposed bill, you can bet that all sorts of loopholes exist in those many pages to protect the rich and powerful members of the current medical establishment.

It would also help to have large non violent marches in all big cities.

And perhaps we need to convince those we elect that if they don't create a fair and affordable system, we'll vote the whole bunch out and elect people who will.

I was just listening to CNN and the talking head said that there has to be an "overwhelming sense of public urgency to pass healthcare".
