Guaranteed Healthcare

One more irony about the healthcare crisis: the politicians in charge of fixing it…are guaranteed healthcare through a system that is not just “single-payer” (in terms of being financed by the government instead of insurance companies), but beyond is actually government-run.

Nurses are running ads today in 10 Iowa newspapers pointing out that this means that Dick Cheney, with his heart trouble, would probably be dead now if he were an ordinary American forced to search for cardiac care in a thicket of mercenary insurers and heartless HMOs.  Cheney gets guaranteed healthcare; we get squat.

We’ll take a look below, also at some recent highlights from the healthcare movement…

Nurses take their work very seriously but they also love to have fun as you'll see in this creative new YouTube show dubbed "ACCESS HEALTHCARE" which borrows a few ideas from "Access Hollywood," "ET," "Extra," and the like. Go backstage with Michael Moore, experience the buzz around his new movie SiCKO, see the latest RN fashions, and JOIN the movement for guaranteed healthcare in America.

The Wall St. Journal is freaking the heck out about Michael Moore’s new movie SiCKO.  Obviously they’ll   fan the flames of controversy and drive more ticket sales.  But their terror makes clear what a great moment we have ehre: finally the American people’s fear and loathing of drug and insurance companies is about to hit the big screen, which is just what this country’s ill healthcare system needs.  The question for us: how to leverage this into the most on-the-ground advances for healthcare reform?  Your thoughts are needed…
