A few nice american health care images I found:
American Rally at Sunset

Sunset in Phoenix as the grandstand began with the speakers at the rally. That large "billboard" is actually the tour bus getting ready to hit the road.
Image from the Organizing for America Health Care Reform tour in Phoenix, Arizona Wednesday August 27, 2009. While there were very few media folks present, getting about 700 Arizonans out on a very hot night to show support for change was a great demonstration of social action in the face of strident opponents. Remember, 83% of Americans want health care reform, yet the media is concentrating on the photo ops and sound bites of the militant conservatives.
Please read my citation and quote for the 83% figure - it is in the comments and this surprises many people, in a big way!
House Republican Press Conference on Health Care Reform

The American people have spoken. Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats have ignored them. Through the month of August, the American people let Members of Congress from both parties know that they didn’t want a government takeover of health care. That hasn’t changed.
But instead of listening to the American people, Democrats hid behind closed doors and came back with a bill designed to appease the liberal special interests. Three things about Speaker Pelosi’s health care bill are already clear: it will raise the cost of Americans’ health insurance premiums; it will kill jobs with tax hikes and new mandates; and it will cut seniors’ Medicare benefits. The fact that it weighs in at nearly 2,000 pages – more than 620 pages longer than the government takeover of health care Hillary Clinton proposed in 1993 – is as good an indication as any of just how costly and unsustainable Speaker Pelosi’s proposal is.
