Raw video: Health care protesters storm Lieberman's office


(NECN: Washington) - Nine members of the Members of the Mobilization for Health Care for All were arrested inside senator Joseph Lieberman's office this morning.

People who gave only their first names are refusing to give their names to the police, seeking to stay in jail until Sen Lieberman pledges to stop taking private insurance company contributions.

Lieberman, the Connecticut Independent, has said he will join Republicans to filibuster a Democratic health bill if it contains a public health insurance option to operate alongside the private insurance market.
