‘Sicko’ will be part of college’s health care debate Monday
Sunday, November 22, 2009 | No comments posted.
Southwestern Oregon Community College is hosting a night of education on health care reform Monday.
Students and the community are invited to a free screening of Michael Moore’s documentary “Sicko” in Eden Hall 1, Southwestern Oregon Community College, 1988 Newmark Ave. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. for the 7 p.m. event that is scheduled to last approximately two and a half hours.
The film will be followed by a debate on health care between SOCC instructors Fred Brick and Christina Alexander. The debate will center on how best to help cure the nation’s “sick” health care system. Is nationalized health care the answer or is the status quo getting a bad rap?
The documentary weighs the plight of the uninsured and the insured who must deal with abuse from insurance companies against the record-breaking profits of the pharmaceutical industry.
