Doris, from New York, is here in DC visiting. “No insurance, can’t afford it,” she told me. “And I never go to a doctor—I’m otherwise lucky,” she said with a smile and went off with her friends.

Keith is one of the founders of the ubiquitous Food Not Bombs organization. His organization has protested around the world and now he’s in front of the White House delivering his message to all those gathered. His story is simple: he’s got fibromyalgia, which he says he acquired after being tortured by the CIA during one of his several incarcerations for illegally delivering free food. With his income and this sort of pre-existing condition, he can never get health insurance.
