Michael Moore's SiCKO and H.R. 676

If you haven't already seen Michael Moore's SiCKO, run, don't walk, to a local movie theater that is showing it.

Michael Moore is also issuing a challenge for people to get active on moving our country towards universal health care coverage.

Part of the challenge includes getting a Republican to see the movie. One lucky Republican who sees the movie will win an opportunity to have Michael Moore do their laundry.

Another part of the challenge is to have everyone call their representative in Congress and urge them to co-sponsor H.R. 676, The United States National Health Insurance Act. More information on that is provided at Healthcare-Now.org.

Every other industrialized nation has universal health care coverage, and our country should have it too. Our country needs it. If we are to truly uphold the moral beliefs that we say we believe in, universal health care coverage should be a priority. It is a moral obligation, and a vast majority of the population wants it. It is up to us to demand that our government, which we control, fulfills its role to protect us and sustain equality by providing health care to everyone in this great country of ours.
