Sicko.

Well, I have to tell ya...

Just watched Michael Moore's "Sicko" -- a documentary about health care in the US. It doesn't paint a very pretty picture... insurance companies going wild denying claims in order to make more money for their investors while people are dying from all kinds of things that can be prevented. Given a recent post showing how people in the US are quite rich compared to much of the rest of the world... it's really quite embarrassing.

Anyone want to take the lead in changing things? Maybe running for office, or at least working to hold those who are in office accountable? Anyone?? Farm bill is in the works now... Senator Harkin is going across the state of Iowa to talk with people about it... ask him how it affects people's health...

And no matter what you think of MM, I've got to say that the film supports my current experiences. Sometimes I just don't miss the US very much.
