Doctors for the 99%

Members from a variety of progressive health care groups have been supporting and show up at the NYC Occupy Wall Street movement.

There is a health care for all working group active with the NYC general assembly.  Activists affiliated with PNHP NY Metro, Health-Care Now and the Bronx-based Social Medicine group are all coordinating, with each other and the NYC General Assembly... as well as marching.

Our next event is a "teach-in/speak-out of healthcare workers for the 99%" Saturday, October 15 from 1:00-5:00pm at Washington Square Park, NYC.

There is a big march on the insurance companies tentatively planned for the afternoon Friday October 21.  Details to follow.

There is a nascent Occupy Wall St: Health Care for All Working Group blog site which is mostly for collecting emails for notifying folks of events.  And there is a facebook group Doctors for the 99%.

Anybody interested, especially those who wish to get involved in New York City area, can send me an email (dr.steveb AT verizon.net  ) or post theirs in comments and I will get you added to the lists.

And anybody who has more information please post in comments or email (dr.steveb AT verizon.net) me.
