Thousands protest insurance execs in DC

Organized by Health Care for America NOW, hundreds of pro-health reform protestors arrived in Washington Tuesday morning to conduct "citizens arrests" of insurance company executives gathered at a conference. Watch the action here.

The protest targeted insurance companies that have recently announced giant premium hikes, while also garnering record profits. The demonstration was widely covered by the media. See, for example, the story in the Washington Post.  Also, this story in the Los Angeles Times.

This came as President Obama launched a new series of attacks on insurance companies for their skyrocketing premiums.
