Why You Need to See Michael Moore's Sicko

Make Change Happen

Parri
Have you watched Sicko yet? If not - you should. Sicko, made by Michael Moore, removes the curtain off of the corruption surrounding our health care system. It is an eye opener that will make you think... "May be we are not the best out there", especially when it comes to health care.

It is a movie that might shock you, a movie that may give you motivation and it might make you cry too (either out of anger or sadness).

After you watch the movie, and after you feel that something really needs to be done, Here is how you can take action; the fallowing link is for Michael Moore's web site.

Before you do go to this site, it is important for you to watch Sicko to actually understand how deep our Health is in trouble!
Then go to the site and see how each one of us can make a difference.

If you do not want to get involved to much, just write a short letter to your congressmen or women that you want him or her to support H. R. 676 "The United States National Health insurance Act"

here is a link to better understand that Act

Here is another link Which can be used to communicate with the Congress of the United States

the population of the United States is 301,139,947 yet only 31401 have submitted this petition.

This makes one wonder! Why are we so proud to have a government that is run by the people - if it actually is not, how can our government be run by us if we can not spare 10 minutes, which will bring forth change for the better.
Spare your 10 minutes and make the change happen!

We all have heard horror tales about health insurance - and unfortunately most of them are true. As a citizen of the United States - I love this country, yet am very disappointed to see that our country is in such a bad condition when it comes to health insurance and health care. We constantly hear things like "if you have health insurance you have nothing to worry about" Guess what? That's not the complete truth. Even health insurance has loop holes, and you don't want it to be too late to find out or to do something about it.

If you are not a fan of Michael Moore, you do not have to be. That is not the point of the movie, however the point is that many people lose their lives because they simply can afford to live - when did money become more important then life?

Spare your 10 minutes and make the change happen! If the people of France or Canada can pay more taxes just so all of their citizens can be taken care of when the time comes, why can't we spend 10 minutes?

One person can make a difference....but many can cause a revolution!
