Health care summer is upon us.
At the end of the month, on July 30, there will be a massive Single Payer Rally in DC ([Only registered and activated users can see links]). Buses and other transportation options (as well as alternative lobbying ideas if you can't get to DC) are available on the web site.
If you watched Bill Moyers' recent report ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), featuring CIGNA whistleblower Wendell Potter, recently diaried by citisven ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) you may, like me, have a yearning to see the whole movie. The clip is short but powerful, showing Moore scouring the offices in a Canadian and a British hospital, looking for the billing department. The baffled reactions to his search are priceless.
One of the things that Potter reveals in his interview with Bill Moyers, is how the industry worked hard to discredit SICKO when it came out.
We have the power to undo that: we can stage a SICKO Renaissance.

How to stage a SICKO Renaissance?
At the very least, I recommend that we all take a(nother) look at the film. If you have cable, SICKO will be showing on TMC ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) this Thursday evening at 8 pm. You can also find it on google ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) (h/t to miss SPED ([Only registered and activated users can see links])).
And of course you can buy a copy ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) if you haven't already.
Debate is underway, and the public option is under siege. Meanwhile, we can all do our part to raise consciousness among our nearest and dearest so that folks are aware of the full range of alternatives. I'm always amazed to find that friends and relations don't quite understand how national insurance works, and how susceptible they can be to the insurance industry's bogus claims of meddling government bureaucrats.
