Healthcare NOT Warfare campaign Co-Chair Donna Smith was brilliant on Bill Moyers Journal, last night.

Watch the clip and show Donna some love! Leave your comments in the comments box under the video screen.

After a devastating medical bankruptcy and a role in the movie SiCKO, Donna became a formidable and leading advocate for single-payer healthcare reform. As a community organizer for the California Nurses Association and a co-chair of the Healthcare NOT Warfare campaign, she has traveled the breadth and width of this country to help educate Americans on the single-payer solution.

Here’s another clip of Donna in all her glory in Washington DC recently. Thank her for the amazing work she has done and continues to do in the comments section following the clip.

We must continue to fight harder than ever; we’re finally gaining some ground.

On and around May 30th, tens of thousands of single-payer supporters will take action to support the Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act (HR 676). Single-payer activists will be gathering all over the country to say:

Healthcare, YES—insurance companies, NO.
