SiCKO While the debate goes on in Congress, the watered down health care plan looks more and more like a give away to the giant health insurance and pharmaceutical industries. Meanwhile 45,000 people in the U.S. die every year for lack of care. If you haven't seen Michael Moore's important documentary on health care before, now's your chance. If you saw it before, it probably wouldn't hurt to see it again - a refresher course on why we need real health care reform, including the important public option. 7pm, Tuesday, Oct. 27 Calvary Church, 48th & Baltimore . Join us for discussion after the film. Opening with profiles of ordinary Americans whose lives have been disrupted, shattered, and even ended by health care catastrophe, the film details just how the system got into such a mess. After visiting Canada, Great Britain and France, where all citizens receive free medical benefits, Moore gathers a group of 9/11 heroes rescue workers suffering from illnesses who have been denied medical attention in the US - and takes them to Cuba. SiCKO uses humor to tell these compelling stories, leading the audience to conclude that an alternative system is the only possible answer. 2007;123 minutes
