I received this from Michael Moore’s mailing list this morning:
Thursday, July 16th, 2009
The Movie Channel, this evening, will be airing the Oscar-nominated documentary, “Sicko,” Michael Moore’s film about a villain known as the health insurance industry. With the debate raging in Washington, D.C. — Republicans trying to scuttle it, the President trying to hang on to his public option, and nearly a hundred members of Congress pushing for a single-payer system — showing “Sicko” tonight is very timely. Mike lays out all the facts and the arguments as to why the private insurance companies are never going to side with what’s best for the American people.
“Sicko” airs on The Movie Channel tonight at 8:00 PM. It’s also scheduled to air on The Movie Channel on July 27th at 4:05 PM and on TMC Xtra on August 2nd at 10:45 PM and August 5th at 2:15 AM and 7:30 AM. Click here for showtimes.
There are people around the country who are holding “Sicko” viewing parties this weekend in their homes. Check out this call to revisit “Sicko” on the Daily Kos this week.
We are in a critical time regarding which direction the health care debate is going to go. Make your voice heard. And be armed with the facts. Watch “Sicko” again!
Thanks.

If you aren’t familiar with Sicko, it is a movie that explores the differences between private health care and universal public funding of health care. While I feel Moore minimizes the issues of Canadian medicare (e.g. wait times) I think he raises some very interesting points all the same. Information about health care in Cuba, France and the UK was quite interesting, too!
