Sicko is a straight-from-the-heart portrait of the crazy and sometimes cruel U.S. health care system, told from the vantage of everyday people faced with extraordinary challenges in their quest for basic health coverage. Donna Smith, featured in the film with her husband Larry, traveled with Moore to Cuba. We will show portions of the film with a discussion to follow and Donna will be sharing her story with us.

This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.

The Truth About Health Care

With Special Appearance by Donna Smith of Michael Moore's Sico Movie
and Leon Zoglhlin, MD. The Ragie Grannies will perform.

In Monroe County, 68,000 adults and 12,000 children are uninsured. In the US, 47 million people are uninsured, and 22,000 of them died in 2006 due to lack of health care coverage. Then there are the millions of us who are underinsured, and every year getting less coverage at a higher cost. In our country, health care is not a basic human right, but an industry that puts profits before people.

Every American could enjoy good quality, comprehensive health care --and save $350 billion a year--if Congress passed HR676, Medicare For All. Join us as we rally to let the invited local, state, and federal representatives and candidates know we are serious about comprehensive reform of our health care system.

When: Friday, September 5, 11:00 am Where: Parking lot across from St. Joe’s Center, 417 South Ave Questions: Betsy Frarey 473-8724 or lfrarey@rochester.rr.com
