Chris Killian, co-founder of Kalamazoo Single Payer Across the Nation, stopped by the Nonchalant Café today to discuss health care reform. With major legislation at stake, Killian talks about the need for reform now.

The conversation also previews the Rally for Health Care Reform set to take place in downtown Kalamazoo at Bronson from 4-5:30.
