Healthcare Update and Thai Pride Crackdown

Rep. Charles Rangel

*Tune into Out-FM on Monday March 30th at 11am as Out-FM associate producer Naomi Brussel brings us an update about the latest with the movement to abolish the private health insurance system and replace it with a single-payer health insurance system like that proposed by Representative John Conyers with his HR 676 bill. Activists are planning a demonstration on Monday April 6th at 11:30 AM outside of the offices of Representative Charles Rangel because he has been dragging his feet with regard to signing on to HR 676 and has not pushed for congressional hearings on the bill. Guests include Katie Robbins from Healthcare NOW! and Ajamu Sankofa from the Private Health Insurance Must Go Coalition!


*Brad Taylor brings us a report about repression of the LGBT Pride March in Thailand in February by forces aligned with the now-discredited former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

*Out-FM associate producer Donna Redd brings us a commentary about lesbian mental health.
