Johnny Depp Swashbuckles for Universal Health Care
Last week when we asked you to send
us your home-made video trailers for the Aug. 4th "Pirates of the
Health Care-ibbean" March on Regence, we never in our wildest dreams
thought we'd receive a submission from Johnny Depp.
And, we still haven't. But we did receive this video trailer from Andy on Bainbridge Island: "Captain Blue Shield strikes again..."
Inspired? Make
your own trailer for the "Pirates of the Health Care-ibbean" March
on Regence. Upload it to www.YouTube.com and send us the link at

Pirates of the Health
Care-ibbean
a March &
Rally
for Health Care
Justice
Sat. Aug 4
9 AM
Regence Blue Shield is the
wealthiest private insurance company in Washington. They have amassed over $890 million in excess
surplus, an increase of 78 percent since 2003.
But apparently it’s not enough to satisfy a greedy appetite for our
premium dollars. In July, Regence is
shocking policy holders with a massive rate increase of 19 percent – up to 40
percent for the elderly.
Insurance pirates are hoarding a
treasure chest of profit, while making the poor, sick & vulnerable walk the
plank. It’s time to end insurance
piracy. Health care for all now!
March begins at:
Seattle University
(enter
at 10th & Madison)
March to:
Regence HeadQuarters
(9th
& Howell)
