# CityWatch Today: Angry Healthcare Voice
May 25 2017

HEALTHCARE POLITICS—The inability for our political representatives to put politics aside and the healthcare of the nation up front is making America sick. And angry. Every now and then, along comes a voice, charged with passion … and often anger … that speaks with power and clarity and … speaks for us. So it was with [this New Jersey voter](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QPVmLnMvPI) at a Rep Tom MacArthur town hall recently … who leaves little doubt that he is a voice for many of the 23 million about-to-be-uninsured Americans.
+++++++
Also in CityWatch Today: Jill Richardson warns that California’s National Parks … including Angeles Crest … are on the Trump hit list. An act of kindness warms the heart of David Bell. Brian Trautman looks at Memorial Day through a contemporary lens. Mike Cohen makes ‘Impeachment Popcorn’. And, Dick Platkin exposes fake traffic solutions. And, that’s just for starters.
Check it out. Let me know what you think. We’re good at listening.
