Free screening of 'Sicko' in Owego
February 24, 2008
See Michael Moore's highly publicized documentary about the American health care industry at 7 p.m. today at Tioga Trails Cafe, 50 Lake St. in Owego. The free screening of "Sicko" is sponsored by Tioga Peace and Justice.
Moore, the film's writer, director and producer, compares this country's profit-oriented health maintenance organizations (HMOs) with free, universal care in Canada, the United Kingdom and France. He interviews Americans who have been denied coverage by their insurance companies and he takes three Sept. 11 cleanup volunteers, who developed respiratory problems, to Cuba for health care. The film received much acclaim as well as much criticism, and is definitely worth a viewing.
For more information about the free screening, call (607) 687-7195.
