Downtown drivers, prepare for a few obstacles this morning. A Philadelphia-based healthcare reform group will march and rally starting at 11am to "Occupy Anthem Blue Cross."

Healthcare-Now!, a volunteer group organizing for a national single-taxpayer healthcare system, will march in support of SB 810, a Sacramento bill dubbed the California Universal Healthcare Act, reports City News Service. The bill would create a single-taxpayer healthcare system in the Golden State.

Gathering at Pershing Square on Olive Street, activists will march to Anthem Blue Cross at 8th Street and Figueroa.

The Occupy Anthem Blue Cross Facebook event, created by Occupy L.A., lists six reasons why SB 810 makes sense for California. Check it out here.

    Great thinking. Since big bureaucratic government agencies handle everything so well (DMV, Post Office) why not put a massive portion of the California economy under the same type of leadership?
