9/2/09 Hollywood & Highland Vigil for Teddy Kennedy & Victims of the U.S. Health Care System

More that 200 members of the Los Angeles community turned out for our Candlelight Vigil to mourn and celebrate lifelong Universal Health Care advocate, Senator Edward Kennedy, and to share personal stories of how the present medical system has impacted our lives.

  

Speakers included Dr. Mario Milch, Director of Kaiser L.A. Hospice, 

Pastor Jim Burklo, author of "Open Christianity,"

and a half dozen citizens sharing their own reasons for supporting 

meaningful health care reform, including a strong Public Option.
