The special interest groups funded by those whose interests are threatened by any change to the status-quo (gee I wonder who that could be?) are behind all the mobs and violence that are taking place. Our healthcare system is nearly on the verge of collapse thanks to the greed of the private insurance companies. They deny coverage, cherrypick those they consider worthy for them to insure, and God help you if you ever do get a diagnosis for then you have a dreaded "pre-existing condition" and are cursed for life. Then they charge horrendous rates, make exorbidant profits and payout huge salaries and bonuses to their executives. Do you think they might want to keep the status-quo? The private healthcare insurance companies have failed miserably. If we do nothing and stay on the current trajectory the entire healthcare system is going to collapse and take us all with it. We need MEANINGFUL REFORM of our healthcare system and we need to have reasoned debate about it. Not a bunch of hired thugs out to disrupt and deny Floridians their right to assemble and discuss this hugely important issue.

One wonders if some of these protesters are actually getting "paid" to do these deeds. The Insurance companies have a ton of money.. so you pay some guy who is out of work a nice flat going rate to go be a jerk for a while. Possible?
