Default Let's Shield California - 6.7 Million Californians Uncovered

please see http://www.letsshieldcalifornia.com/

6.7 million of California's 38 million residents are uninsured. The US government estimates that 47 million people have no health coverage in a country of over 300 million. Seriously.

Blue Shield of California states they are for reforms in health care (which we all know is badly needed) and for universal coverage, yet i find it a bit ironic that many insured patients on this forum with BCBS are unable to get coverage for FDA approved ADR procedures. Still, Blue Shield is bringing attention to the issue of the staggering number of the uninsured and to possible reform.

You can send a form to Speaker Pelosi at the end, or I'd recommend a personal letter. You don't have to be a resident of California.

The site states that Blue Shield will be coming to Los Angeles and San Francisco with a video booth to record the ideas, stories and feelings of Californians on this issue.

I haven't seen anything about this in the papers... anyone know more about this?
