In Chicago, seven people were arrested Thursday at a demonstration outside the offices of the insurance giant CIGNA. Dozens of people took part in the rally, which comes as part of a series of protests organized outside the offices of major insurance companies nationwide. The action was organized by the group Mobilization for Health Care for All. Similar protests are expected to continue next week in several major cities.
Protester: “It is their responsibility to make money for their shareholders, not to give us care.”
Protester #2: “Care is being delayed. People are dying because of that every day. Seven people here today have been willing to be arrested. Let’s let them know we’re with them. We love you guys.”
