michaelmoore.com - i watched Sicko last night and was appalled not to mention disturbed at the information that was put forth about health care in the US. With health care here it's all about the money-

1. TAKE ACTION: On November 14th, party like You're gonna be SiCK...but hope that you aren't at Democracy for America's 'SiCKO' House Parties. More than 200 DFA groups around the country have already signed up to host parties!
The SiCKO-CURE Road Show route will go through eleven states from November 12th through December 14th. Click here to join the SiCKO-Cure Road Show in your area. If you can't make it, click here to donate.

2. Download your very own "'SiCKO' Health Care Card" so when your insurance company says 'no,' you can say 'yes.'
