Health Care Activists Arrested at Aetna Offices
Nineteen health care activists were arrested this morning after conducting a sit-in at the offices of the health insurance company Aetna. The protesters demanded that Aetna officials immediately approve all procedures which were recommended by physicians. Denial of medically necessary care is a key strategy employed by private health insurance companies in order to enhance profits. More than 20,000 people die each year from medically treatable illnesses. The nineteen were taken into custody after chanting "Aetna Profits, People Die! Medicare for All!"
