Sneak Preview of Michael Moore's Sicko

sicko.jpgWhether you like Michael Moore or think he's an anti-American nutjob, the guy's coming out with a new movie. Sicko is a study of America's (failing) health care system.

Moore talks to victims (like a man who had to choose which of his two severed fingers to reattach, because he couldn't afford both) and perpetrators (oft-repentant health insurance agents) of the U.S. health care system, then trots (okay, maybe plods) around the globe in search of solutions to our health care problems. Not surprisingly, Moore finds his favorite answers in France (anti-freedom, pro-health), Canada (marijuana solves all health issues!), and Cuba (those commies really know how to treat a patient). While Moore is more concerned with pushing his agenda than telling all sides of the story, many of the issues he exposes are real and do need to be addressed.

Fox News found a lot of problems with Sicko, while the L.A. Times found fewer. Time also interviewed Moore about the difficulties of creating--and insuring--a film about insurance. Check out Sicko for yourself tomorrow at the Regal Arbor Cinema--maybe you'll learn something.

Hey! I want tickets but your links don't work. Anybody know what bus runs all the way out there?

The 3 goes to the arboretum.

Thank you, Tim. And the link works so thanks to the person that fixed that as well.

Dagnabit! Almost $9.00 for a movie? That's a lot of money.

983 and 982 also run out there.

Yeah, but I bet you $9.00 they don't run on Saturdays.

capmetro.org
put in your address, put in the movie theater's address
put what day you want to go and what time
voila. a bus route.

ol' pappy:
You are right, they only run Mon-Fri. Forgot about that.

Also, try www.google.com/transit for a route finder.

But www.google.com/transit won't talk back to me and I am sooooo lonely.

yea, Cap. Metro!...$9.00/ticket (bittorrent, ahhhhem 'scuse me)...
