Thousands march for health care in Seattle
By

Fighting the insurance companies and their moves to buy off Congress and
the Obama administration, 5,000 to 10,000 people marched in a Seattle rally
demanding health care for all. With mothers at the front of the march, the May
30 event was themed “Mothers Leading the Way.” People came from all
over Washington State, with 190 participating organizations including unions
and health care, women’s, immigrant and church organizations.
Chants and signs signaled a predominance of the demand for single-payer health
care. While speaking, U.S. Senator Patty Murray—who has never supported
single-payer health care—was shouted down with chants of
“single-payer!”
