Over the next couple of days, single payer activists will be protesting at Whole Foods stores in Los Angeles, Denver and New York City.

Earlier this month, Single Payer Action called for a boycott of Whole Foods in response to Whole Foods CEO John Mackey’s article in the Wall Street Journal arguing that health care should not be a fundamental human right.

All western industrial countries – except for the United States – deem health care to be a fundamental human right.

Single payer activists picketed against Whole Foods stores around the country today.

Activists from Single Payer Action urged shoppers to boycott Whole Foods stores in Austin, Texas, New York City, and Washington, D.C.

At the P Street Whole Foods store in Washington, D.C., more than 15 protesters handed out leaflets informing customers of Whole Foods CEO John Mackey’s right wing stance against national health insurance, against unions, and against cracking down on corporate crime.
