In reply to the discussion: Joe Biden crosses a picket line to fundraise w/ healthcare exec?!? [View all]crazytown
(7,277 posts)71. You may well be right.
I was addressing the question whether this was a official picket/protest sanctioned and organised by a registered union.
My sister has direct experience of Kaisers mental health care in California. She has too dollar coverage. The under resourcing is woeful.
For what its worth, I believe retaining they ACA with a string strong Public Option is the way to go. If existing regulation of private insurers is falling short, tighten it. MFA advocates remind.me of search and destroy tacticians. We had to burn down the village in order to save it.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

You call him "old Joe." Will you call your favorite "old Liz" when she turns 70 next month?

The Hill called the protest an "informal picket" in its story, with a link to HuffPo.
