7 Arrested Outside CIGNA Offices in Chicago
-------------------------------------------



In Chicago, seven people were arrested Thursday at a demonstration
outside the offices of the insurance giant CIGNA. Dozens of people took
part in the rally, which comes as part of a series of protests organized
outside the offices of major insurance companies nationwide. The action
was organized by the group Mobilization for Health Care for All. Similar
protests are expected to continue next week in several major cities.

Protester: “It is their responsibility to make money for their
shareholders, not to give us care.”

Protester #2: “Care is being delayed. People are dying because of that
every day. Seven people here today have been willing to be arrested.
Let’s let them know we’re with them. We love you guys.”
