Nobody's submitted content for a healthcare flyer yet, and the number
of canards surrounding that issue makes it an easy one, so here goes:

"We have socialized fire departments, socialized libraries, socialized
police, socialized schooling and socialized subway systems.

"Meanwhile, 47 million Americans are without health insurance. Medical
bills are the number one cause of personal bankruptcies. 45,000
Americans die each year for lack of coverage.

"Healthcare is a human right."

I want to connect it to the Occupy movement obviously but I'm not sure
how. I'll try to come up with a few other angles.

I'm doing a lot of research right now on the prison reform (I prefer
"abolition") issue; if we divide the march by issue I'd love to be in
the team handing out those flyers. Who suggested that issue, btw?
