While most students were in class or taking midterms Wednesday morning, Gallatin senior Sarah Secunda was being arrested for protesting for a single-payer health care system.
The sit-in, held at the corporate offices of WellPoint, a private health insurance provider in Lower Manhattan, drew about 80 activists, nine of whom were arrested. The protest was one of about a dozen similar demonstrations nationwide. They were part of the Mobilization for Health Care for All campaign, which uses civil disobedience to push for a single-payer universal health care plan.
