That was the chorus at tonight's rally outside the Anthem Blue Cross offices at the Embarcadero in downtown San Francisco. Since none of the big wigs showed up, these ladies had to do a little role-playing...
More pics and tricks in the operating room below...
When I heard that moveon.org and the Feinstein 1200 were having a little gathering right here in SF, I was both a bit surprised and very happy. Surprised because I had no idea Anthem actually has an office right in my town, I only hear from them when they jack up my premium by 50%, and then it's only via letter from SoCal. Happy because frankly the online outrage only goes so far with me, I've really been itching to share my true feelings about Anthem CEOs getting fat bonuses while my premiums are skyrocketing.
I'd come to the right place. Obviously, these gentlemen shared my affection for insurance executives...
It wasn't a super large gathering, but spirits were high after today's ass whoopin health care summit.
It was very touching to hear random people step up and tell their horror stories. You just can't make some of this stuff up...
There were a lot of good ideas, including some free consulting for the Corporate Republican Party...
Take that, you lying liars!
I have to say I'm always amazed at the creativity of my fellow San Franciscans...
Then it was time for the second verse of the song: We Shall Kill Reform, We Shall Kill Reform, We Shall Kill Reform Todaaaayyyyyy!
The little ones were diggin' it...
Gosh, I wish Teddy were here, I just want to hear what he would be telling the Super Obstructionists Minority...
So listen up, insurance people, we're not singing your ANTHEM anymore, and we're not carrying your (Blue) CROSS any longer. We're tired of you lining your pockets on our illness and we're not going to stop showing up on your doorstep until your free reign millionaire's party is over. We want health care for all people, and we want it now!
I'll leave you with a few more images from last summer's rally...
