Giant Sale for Universal Healthcare

I spoke with Irma Strantz today as she and others from the League of Women Voters collected donations for a giant sale they're putting on to raise money for a universal healthcare bill (SB 840) in the state legislature. She recognized that not everyone is in favor of universal health care and gave the following response to those who say socialized health care would degrade the quality of care people are accustomed to in the U.S.

The sale takes place Sunday, July 8 from 8:30am to 5:30pm at 1474 Oakdale Street in Pasadena. They'll still accept donated items during the day Sunday. If anyone wants to donate money after the sale is over they can either drop it off at 1474 Oakdale, or donate online to www.healtchareforall.org.

Irma wanted to stress that police will let anyone through the blockades for the PCC flea market to get to the universal health care sale.
