Since I know you’re all wondering, I wanted to let you know what happened to the protesters who yesterday staged a sit-in at a NYC Aetna office to advocate for a single-payer health care system.
The 19 participants, wearing T-shirts with slogans that read “Medicare for All” and chanting “Patients, not profits!” linked arms and sat down in the lobby of the Aetna building, prompting Aetna employees to step around them on their way into their offices. A crowd of supporters picketing outside the building held signs that said “Aetna is the real death panel,” and “Single payer now.”
