This show covers a spirited press conference/protest outside the University of Chicago administration building to halt the planned closing of the 47th Street women's clinic, and to call for a halt to the policies of the U of C Medical Center in pushing the poor out the door. It took place on June 30, 2009, and was called by the Coalition for Healthcare Access, Responsibility and Transparency <http://www.stopchicago.org/>. Other demands of CHART were:
- Immediate moratorium on clinic closures
- Restore services
- Restore and expand patient transportation from community to hospital
- Expand staffing and beds in the Emergency Room and General Medicine
- Open the hospital to new patients, regardless of medical insurance
- Living wage jobs and good benefits for all staff

After the press conference, we follow the protest as it reconvenes to hold a BBQ and picket across the street from Univ. of Chicago President Zimmer.
