Sicko

Have you seen it? No? Why not? I promise it will make you think, it may make you laugh and probably make you cry.   If you're asking "What's Sicko?"  Here's Wikipedia's definition: "Sicko is a 2007 documentary film by American film maker Michael Moore. The film investigates the American health care system, focusing on its health insurance and pharmaceutical industry. The film compares the for-profit, non-universal U.S. system with the non-profit universal health care systems of Canada, the United Kingdom, France and Cuba."

Last night, on Bill Moyer’s show a 'Former CIGNA Executive Says
Michael Moore Was Right All Along
" (See this link! and the video below.)

The US needs to fix the Health Care system.  You probably have good health care coverage; but many don’t… and yours is going to cost you more each year. 

Watch Sicko, do some research, don’t be afraid, don’t be misled by powerful, resource rich lobbys and the medical establishment.

Why is the US to only industrialized country without a free universal heath care system?  “The United States is the only industrialized nation that does not guarantee access to health care as a right of citizenship. 28 industrialized nations have single payer universal health care systems, while 1 (Germany) has a multipayer universal health care system like President Clinton proposed for the United States.”

Now is the time to fix this… Please get involved… for yourself, for your parents, for your children and their children.
