Wow. What are the odds of finding 1000 liberals in New York City who want a new program they think will give them free stuff?

No one in America -- except Senators and Congressmen--
will ever get Kennedy-care = the care Ted Kennedy got.
Proton beam for glioblastoma (inappropriate)
Tumor Board from the entire East Coast (unbelievable)

The rest get "No-Kennedy-Healthcare-for-You Bill"

Up to 1,000 rally in NYC for health care bill socialism

1000 pro-socialists in NYC is not news. That they're not home crying in front of their TVs for their beloved socialist leader Ted, is.

Notice the Professionally Printed signs in the video below and remember it is Time Square in Manhattan. There would be a lot of people there anyway.

We had more people than that in a SUBURB of SACRAMENTO - a tad smaller than NYC I’d say - show up against the plan at congressional town halls - yet this makes news.
No agenda here - nothing to see - move along.

Our government is already socialist. If Obamacare passes, it’s time to secede.
