THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – California authorities say a clash between opponents
and supporters of health care reform ended with one man biting off another
man's finger.

Ventura County Sheriff's Capt. Frank O'Hanlon says about 100 people
demonstrating in favor of health care reforms rallied Wednesday night
on a street
corner. One protester walked across the street to confront about 25
counter-demonstrators.

O'Hanlon says the man got into an argument and fist fight, during which he
bit off the left pinky of a 65-year-old man who opposed health care reform.

A hospital spokeswoman says the man lost half the finger, but doctors
reattached it and he was sent home the same night.

She says he had Medicare.

O'Hanlon says the attacker fled but authorities have a good description.
