      Wanted: Husband with Canadian health care

      Posted by Jeff from Seattle Post-Intelligencer

      Jeanne is a friend and a cancer survivor. She lost the lottery for a cancer free life and in our country has to pay tooth and nail for the right to drugs and treatment. I think it's unconscionable that our country operates in this manner.

      Moore’s ‘Sicko’ is incredibly persuasive

      Posted by Jeff from MSNBC

      Moore in The E.R.

      Posted by Jeff from Time

      The movie, screened for TIME, is double-barreled Moore, a mix of familiar numbers (47 million uninsured Americans, the ever rising cost of care) and chilling moments (the 18-month-old baby who dies of a seizure when she’s denied emergency-room access, the husband and father with kidney cancer whose insurer won’t pay for a bone-marrow transplant). Together, they will have many moviegoers angry enough to gouge holes in their armrests.
