Dean and I went to see Sicko yesterday. It should be mandatory for all Americans to see this film. I know Michael Moore can be a bit of a pain but the facts in this movie can hardly be disputed. We should at least find out which of the candidates in the Presidential race has a plan for changing this mess of a system we have to something closer to a free health care system that we all deserve. I felt just like those people in Texas and wanted to do something right away. I can't do it at work, but I am writing my congressmen (good luck with that- McCain and Kyl)and will start researching what else I can do to make a difference.
Writing to your representatives does make you feel better though. And it's interesting that the least tech savvy of our citizens; congressman and senators, have found a way to keep ordinary 'in your face' e-mail at bay. You have to send your message via their special system. It just doesn't have that feeling you get with real e-mail; and with any luck at all you will receive a form letter e-mail reply within a few days.'Thank you, etc, etc." At least you don't waste postage stamps on it.
