Michael Moore:Free Movie Screening Sparks Health Care Debate
Free Movie Screening Sparks Health Care Debate
http://www.keci.com/Free-Movie-Screening-Sparks-Health-Care-Debate/5024410

A group of Northwest Montanans hope to increase the focus on health care reform.

Tuesday night, the "Flathead Movers and Shakers" is hosting a free showing of the movie, "Sicko." It's a Michael Moore documentary outlining the state of healthcare in America, and comparing it to other countries around the world. They're hoping moviegoers are inspired to do their own research to learn more about the ongoing issue.

The movie screening won't go without opposition. A Flathead Valley group that traveled to Bozeman to protest President Obama's town hall meeting last week has similar plans to be present at Tuesday's movie.

The movie, "Sicko," will show tomorrow night at 7:30 at the O'Shaughnessy Center in Whitefish. There will also be guest speakers after the movie.

3. I hope they at least watch the movie before they protest it.
I suspect they will not though. they will be protesting against something they know absolutely nothing about. should make for an interesting protest..

4. Too bad more people can't see that movie
Especially those in government who will be working on health care reform.
