Join the Bergen County Central Trades and Labor Council, AFL-CIO at 7:00 pm on Friday, February 1 as we host a special screening of the award winning documentary Sicko at Englewood Public Library located at 31 Engle St in Englewood, NJ. This screening is part of the AFL-CIO's campaign to fight for a unique American plan for secure, high-quality health care for all.
Sicko, the latest documentary by film maker Michael Moore, looks at health care in the United States as provided by profit-oriented health maintenance organizations (HMOs) compared to free, universal care in Canada, the U.K., and France. Moore contrasts U.S. media reports on Canadian care with the experiences of Canadians in hospitals and clinics there. He interviews patients and doctors in the U.K. about cost, quality, and salaries. He examines why Nixon promoted HMOs in 1971, and why the Clintons' reform effort failed in the 1990s. He talks to U.S. ex-pats in Paris about French services, and he takes three 9/11 clean-up volunteers, who developed respiratory problems, to Cuba for care. He asks of Americans, "Who are we?"
