A natural alliance! Gray Panthers and Raging Grannies gravitated to the same spot on West Portal...together on a windy San Francisco day for Single Payer Health Care.

Corporate media reporter Jim Pierce was walking the streets of the health care movement on the same afternnoon that the Panthers and the Grannies were singing and cuttin' up for Single Payer. The "PanGrans" were also doing a LOT of explaining and making appeals to the public out for a stroll and shopping on a San Francisco Saturday afternoon.

Report aired on KRON-TV at 5:00pm.
