Advocates for universal healthcare continue to stage rallies at the offices of insurance companies nationwide. On Tuesday, some fifty people protested outside the Philadelphia headquarters of the insurance giant CIGNA. Five people were arrested after blocking the building’s entrance. Among those detained was Joan Kosloff, who says she lost her uninsured son to a treatable case of meningitis. The protest was organized by the group Health Care for America Now. It came one day after more than 100 people rallied outside the Minnesota headquarters of the the nation’s largest private insurer, UnitedHealth Group. Six people were arrested after blocking the building’s doors. The protesters listed the names of friends and relatives who have struggled to receive healthcare. The Reverend Grant Stevenson helped lead the protest.

Rev. Grant Stevenson: “We’re at a crossroads, and I want to thank you for coming here and making this clear. I want to thank you for standing here and standing for the people who you’ve named on these sheets of paper. Stand for them. Stand for them today. Stand for them tomorrow. Stand for them until the members of the Congress understand that human beings are going to matter in this country, or we are in big trouble.”
