SiCKO on TV tonight
Michael Moore's 'Sicko' on T.V. Tonight

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.

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.

1. K&R Thanks. We have a couple DVDs of "Sicko" we pass around
and people are amazed what other countries have that we don't. Maybe we should send the schedule to the Congresscritters.

11. Mostly empty.....well, there you go. Sad. Remember Congress has their insurance
so I guess they're saying to hell with the rest of us.

3. Good
This is a start. It needs to be on ABC, NBC, or CBS so those who don't get cable or satellite can watch it. It has been on Stars, and my daughter has the DVD. Every person in the U.S. should watch it. I know that the die hard right wingers wouldn't be able to get the real picture, but most americans could see that the right wing has been feeding them a whole lot of BS over they years about how bad UHC really is.

4. I posted a link to an online copy you could watch for free
on a message board where several wingnuts post. One of them went berserk and posted a bunch of anti Michael Moore crap. But another wingnut called him on it and told him to put his feelings about Michael Moore aside and watch the movie.

I really have been amazed that many right wingers have come around on this health care issue.
