Doctors sporting white coats, nurses in their scrubs, patients and health care advocates are joining the ranks of the Occupy Wall Street movement to protest at Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village this afternoon.
It is part of the "Occupy Town Squares" campaign, where demonstrators converge in public spaces for mobile teach-ins, training and political discussions.
The demonstration, called "Healthcare For The 99 Percent," aims to show how economic inequality is making patients sick.
