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. 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.

3. The part that made me break down was when Moore took 9/11 NYC firemen to Cuba.

In Cuba, they were given health care that they couldn't get inside the US. When the local Cuban fire department held a little ceremony honoring their sacrifices on that terrible day, I lost it. I realized then and there that these firemen who answered the call on 9/11 were treated better by the Cuban government than by the US government. I felt that was inexcusable, and it was a serious blow in any pride I had left of being an American or the government that rules this land.

4. I put off seeing it due to my own battles with health care...

...I knew intimately all the points he was making, the problems we have and how brutal and crooked our system is.

Curiosity finally got the best of me and I watched it on DVD last night. Like other posters here, there were several points where I was choking back tears and angered. I've had to stave off my knowledge of such in order to do the jobs demanded of me in the last decade but I can no longer subsume my feelings. The USA has a loathsome and vicious society hardly worthy of sympathy, much less praise.
