#J29: "Patients Before Profits!" Doctors, Nurses Stand with OWS 

Uploaded by on Jan 30, 2012

New York City, Jan. 29--"We stand with you, Occupy Wall Street, in your mission to make real human rights-- human rights to a decent standard of living, freedom from corporate domination, and a government which puts the needs of patients before profits." Mission statement spoken by a doctor from Physicians for National Health Care at a speak-out held under the Washington Square arch during Occupy The Square. See also Part 2 of this post. The Healthcare for the 99% working group holds meetings every Sunday, 4pm, at 60 Wall Street Atrium, for physicians, nurses and all advocates of a single-payer, universal health care system.
