Exclusive video!
On Jan. 29, 2010, Doctors Margaret Flowers and Carol Paris were arrested outside a hotel, at the Inner Harbor, in Baltimore, MD, where President Barack Obama was to give a speech. They were on a sidewalk outside the Renaissance hotel holding a banner. The doctors had a letter that they wanted to give to the President and/or one of his aides, re: Medicare for All. They were arrested for trespassing, according to to a police officer at the scene. Later after getting into a police car, this reporter was advised, the two doctors were released, without going to the local lockup. Each was then given" a citation" for trespassing.

Incorporate and then they will listen to you. Only corporations can speak whenever and wherever they want to make politicians do what they want.

What? The hotel has nothing to do with healthcare!
February 8th, 2010 - 09:38
Oh, I’m an American alright, BUT that has nothing to do with her sounding like an idiot! People are telling her to leave their property! Then the police come and she STILL stands there arguing about BS that doesn’t matter to them! Geez, the health care debate has nothing to do with the ‘big business’ that is a hotel, why should they have this hassle? She has a medical degree, and this is the BEST she can do? I am NOT impressed, and again, she doesn’t speak for me.

@onekinkstar wow look stupid for standing up for what is right? Are you American??? She is a brave woman doing the right thing! we all need to stick together and stand up for each other.

February 8th, 2010 - 10:29
vote 4 only 100 % constitutionalist that know it and will pertect it and the amendments
February 8th, 2010 - 11:13
PART ONE
UNIVERSAL SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE … EVERYONE COVERED AT HALF THE COST
OBAMA a corporate toady, a weak, cowardly bribe taking thief, betraying the citizens
SCOFF at his fatuous, inane, and pompous platitudes; the dimwit appears to believe his own drivel
February 8th, 2010 - 12:04
PART TWO
ELECTORAL STRATEGY … inflict collective electoral punishment on the ENTIRE DEMOCRATIC PARTY … don’t differentiate, don’t vote for ANY DEM, reduce them to a mere handful of obedient fearful politicians who grovel for public approval
February 8th, 2010 - 12:39
PART THREE
BE AS HERACLES, in his fifth labor: CLEAN OUT THE AEGEAN STABLE
For the fifth labor, Eurystheus ordered Hercules to clean up King Augeas’ stables. Hercules knew this job would mean getting dirty and smelly, but sometimes even a hero has to do these things. Then Eurystheus made Hercules’ task even harder: he had to clean up after the cattle of Augeas in a single day. … that single day is ELECTION DAY

Thank you Dr. Flowers and Dr. Paris for speaking and standing up on our behalf. It’s truly sad to see how corrupt the white house and the congress have become for putting the interests of big insurance and big pharmaceutical companies ahead of the interest of the American people. The single payer is the ONLY and the most EFFICIENT way to reform our broken and costly health care system. Shame on the white house and the congress for refusing to do what is right for the American people.

You mean the insane radical left!
February 8th, 2010 - 13:33
john, you are a one trick pony:
generalizations about “the big, bad, Left”.
Yawn, you are boring.
February 8th, 2010 - 14:21
oh yeah, big business trumps us getting our right of health care for all? Ha!
February 8th, 2010 - 14:27
They don’t stand up for me! What they did there was look like fools! The POTUS was not speaking directly to them; they should know the White House cannot accept anything; and hotels cannot risk offending other customers who might think this protest is their idea or opinion. They know better than doing this, OR do they? They looked stupid!
February 8th, 2010 - 15:13
thank you ladies.

Medicare is simply underfunded. If we stopped our stupid foreign adventures & cut back on our insanely bloated military budget we’d have plenty of money for a well-funded medicare system for EVERYBODY.

Insolvency means the inability to pay one’s debts as they fall due. Usually used to refer to a business, insolvency refers to the inability of a company to pay off its debts.
Medicare has ceased paying it’s debts? That is a news flash. What is your source?
Granted, Medicare is projected to become insolvent in several years time, that’s why we need real reform now.

newsflash – medicare is insolvent

The Post Office manages to send a piece of paper from Miami to Alaska for less than $.50. Since reorganization into an independent organization, the USPS has become self-sufficient and has not directly received taxpayer-dollars since the early 1980s
The US Post Office was created under Benjamin Franklin (socialist?) in 1775. After 235 years of existence, it doesn’t seem to be a failure to me, rather part of the heritage Americans can be proud of .
Go Dr. Flowers. Medicare for all!
February 8th, 2010 - 17:58
Many thanks to Dr, Flowers and Dr. Paris for their courage and for their willingness to stand up for the rest of us.

Even though socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried. The Left think you are wiser than the collective intelligence of millions of free market decision makers. Sorry -No Way. Some socialist ideas that have failed here. Post Office, Amtrack, social security, medicare(Broke), Fanny Mae(Broke), Freddy Mac(Broke), welfare, Bailing out GM&Chrysler, Gmac,
Some socialist ideas that work here??? Can’t think of any. I think it’s a good idea to say NO to more of these expensive failures!

Physicians for a National Health Program have posted Dr Flowers’ open letter to President Obama.
February 8th, 2010 - 19:14
I hear that Dr Flowers is in a segment on Bill Moyers Journal on PBS this weekend, tonight (Friday Feb 5th) in Maryland. It’s action like this that is getting attention in the media for expanding Medicare to all. Well done Drs. Flowers and Paris
