It would be good to know for sure, but I really suspect he does have health
insurance. He worked full time in a technology field in San Francisco. Even
if he does have a very good health plan, he will still have expenses that are
not covered.

Solidarity w/ Oakland march and rally
I am interested in knowing if this young man, Scott Olsen, has health insurance.
If not, I would like to suggest we find out if someone has started a fund to
help pay for his medical treatments and physical therapy.
