The Rolling Stone quote on the front of the Sicko DVD jacket promised I’d “laugh till it hurts.” I got teary instead.
(Okay, so maybe that’s more because I miss my dear wife and daughter. But it is a powerful movie.)
Michael Moore offers a suggestion to the United States: learn how other countries provide their citizens with health care, and then copy them. I looked up H.R. 676–that’s a bill that would create comprehensive health insurance coverage for all U.S. citizens–and found that it hasn’t been acted on since April 2005. How disappointing. A group does appear to be keeping the flame burning, however alive it does not seem.
Mr. Next President: you have a mandate (call Mr. Moore for specifics). What you promise does not sound like enough–I want revolution!
