(I signed the petition and invited my legislators to join me to see Sicko yesterday. More great work from the CT Working Families team - promoted by Maura)
 In this year's session, the legislature disappointed us on healthcare. Rather than pursuing real, substantive reform, they settled on a band-aid that doesn't really address the healthcare crisis. As a result, insurance costs will continue to grow, and hundreds of thousands of people will be left uncovered. The only thing we can guess is that our legislators don't really understand the urgency of our healthcare crisis. And no one lays out that crisis more clearly than Michael Moore in his new film Sicko. Thus, the goal behind the new website, haveyouseensicko.org: to get every legislator in the state to see the movie, so when they come back next session, we can know that ignorance won't be an excuse for avoiding healthcare. So far, 3 have seen the movie, and 184 are left to go. So check out the site, see which legislators are the first three to see the movie, send your legislators an email, sign the petition, and send the website along to your friends. Also, you can download that nifty little counter which will change automatically, every time a new legislator sees the movie. |
