{news} Play the "Nurse Avenger" and learn about health care and reform!

[Green Party-CT]

Dear single-payer health care supporters - 

As you may have heard, in an astounding 
first for all of us, a single-payer bill has passed both the Assembly 
(House) and the Senate in California; only to be vetoed by Governor 
Arnold Schwarzenegger. 

The Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights and animators at the 
Rythm and Hues Studio have developed an online game, "Nurse Avenger," 
to 
educate citizens about our health care system and the potential savings 
and universal coverage that could be gained by a single-payer plan in 
California. In the words of a recent Tom Paine article:
"In the game, players earn points for fighting mobster-styled insurance 
company reps trying to kill a patient in a hospital bed. Special 
weapons 
include Waste Whacker, Voice Mail Avenger, and Purchasing Power. These 
are the tools with which government can make health care more 
affordable 
and accessible."

To play Nurse Avenger, learn more about the California Health Plan, or
