USE NONVIOLENT MEANS

The deluge of anger toward United Healthcare and private health insurance in general over the last six days has been astonishing, in that it has come from people of all political persuasions. As Newsweek noted, “Conservatives and Liberals Find Rare Agreement Amid Insurance CEO Killing“.

Join us for further discussion about nonviolent action that can spur needed systemic change at 7 PM on Tuesday, December 10th.

Dr. Hank Abrons recently shared his personal view (see below) on the need for focused mobilization using the levers of government in the December 9th San Francisco Chronicle:

The assassin who killed United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson last week aimed at the wrong target, used the wrong weapon and wasn’t the right person to do the job.
The target should be United Healthcare’s profit-seeking business model.

The weapon must be legislation to replace private health insurance with universal health insurance through a fair publicly financed program.

The right folks to do the job are the voters and our elected legislators.

We must remove health insurance CEOs by nonviolent political action. Let’s go on the offense to establish single-payer health insurance (improved Medicare for all).

We know how to do this. We’ve done the research, developed the policies, written the legislation and shown the cost savings.

t’s up to us to help abolish private for-profit health insurance, may it RIP. Then we can enjoy the health care we deserve.
