VIDEO: Healthcare Rally in Los Angeles — Aug 13th 2007

By Alexia Prichard

In an earlier post, NewsQuake covered the groundswell of support for California's Senate Bill 840 (SB 840), the Universal Healthcare Act. But that story is far from over. On August 11, the OneCareNow campaign hosted the biggest rally for universal healthcare in U.S. history. Several luminaries spoke in support of SB 840, which is cosponsored by State Senator Sheila Kuehl. Click on the first photo below to view the highlights of this historic gathering.



Among those speaking at the rally was actress Lily Tomlin, who delivered a routine in persona of her character "Ernestine" that was written expressly for the event. Click on the photo below to play video.
