Sit-In Demonstrators Deliver Surprises to SF Blue Shield
About 200 people demonstrated with surprises for Blue Shield in San Francisco today to demand that the company stop blocking health care reform. Street theater props included a giant Octopus of Death and cigars for the "Billionaires for Wealthcare". The Billionaires were accompanied by their own French maid Fifi who served them in wine glasses emblazoned with the Blue Shield logo.
