Nurses from across the country, actually the world, are on a bus tour promoting "Scrubs for SiCKO" a campaign to recruit a nurse or doctor to each of the movie's 3,000 opening night screens. These healthcare providers--many in custom red scrubs--will work to maximize the impact SiCKO has on our political and social debates about how to finally guarantee healthcare and get private insurance corporations out of our healthcare system. Along the way, an unprecedented coalition of activists nurses, many from the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee, as well as a dozen other nurses groups, is coming together to demand real healthcare reform now. Below is the third report from the tour, co-written by a number of nurses as they travelled to Chicago and New Hampshire last week. This stretch was incredibly important for we went from the belly of the beast to the belly of the beast...that is, from Chicago's national HQ for Blue Cross/Blue Shield to the epicenter of the Presidential race in Manchester.
