4 Arrested at Baltimore Single-Payer Protest
--------------------------------------------



In other healthcare news, single-payer advocates continued with a
campaign of sit-ins at the offices of major insurance companies
Thursday. In Louisville, Kentucky, protesters occupied the entrance to
the headquarters of the insurance giant Humana. Meanwhile, four people
were arrested at a Care First/Blue Cross office in Baltimore. The group
Mobilization for Health Care for All says one of the arrested
demonstrators, Dr. Margaret Flowers, is refusing to give her name to
police and wants to remain in jail until Care First executives agree to
a public meeting.
