Advocates of a single payer health care system held a silent protest demonstration at Senator Ron Wyden’s town hall meeting in Forest Grove, Oregon on Sunday.

The protesters demanded that Senator Wyden open the debate on health care reform to include advocates of a single payer, everybody in, nobody out, free choice of doctor and hospital health care system.

The protesters charged that Senator Wyden is backing a health care plan that is mere piecemeal tinkering of the current system.

Senator Max Baucus (D-Montana) drove up to the Kaiser Family Foundation in downtown Washington, D.C. this morning.

His initial idea – park on G Street in front of the office building – and walk in the front door to meet reporters gathered inside.

But activists from Single Payer Action were out front, waiting to question Baucus about why, over the past two weeks, he ordered thirteen of them arrested, handcuffed, and charged with “disruption of Congress.”
