Will you Cry for Me, John Boehner? Save Medicare/Medicaid
June 11, 2011
*Will you Cry for Me, John Boehner?* link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z-L6Gltg94
In D.C., I had the honor of participating in (and videotaping) an action at
Speaker of the House John Boehner’s office. Katie Robbins of Healthcare-Now
collected hundreds of testimonials from people who have suffered under the
present profit –driven system – and will suffer more if Medicare and
Medicaid are further defunded and privatized. These stories made us cry, and
since John Boehner has a tendency for weepiness, we each came armed with a
box of Kleenax. Boehner wasn’t there, and his aide called the security
guards, so we had to read the testimonials in the hall.
But we left behind the stories – and the Kleenax.
