"Sooner or later people are going to realize that decisions about whether one lives or dies should not be predicated on 'How much money can I make off this?'" says Michael Moore, looking back at his film Sicko with Donna Smith of National Nurses United. They both note that it's the health care workers who are leading the fight for a better system for all, even as those workers are under attack themselves.
To kick off our new series, The Nurses' Station, Michael and Donna joined Laura in studio for a look back at Sicko and a conversation about what has changed since the film was made, and why it's not enough.
Hi Laura/Grit-tv,Thanks for all. I like the way Michael Moore say,”it`s only a movie”.I think history will look at his movies at having more impact than any other movie.Laura,is their a strong fear to speak of “controlling our money”???? It seem like a common sense solution that`s being avoided.I know we live in a culture that learns the hard way,but this time the world might not survive.We`re wasting valuable time. Thanks Jessie PS The question can be ask,”what`s after moving your money”??? What can fund/finance a workers-own system??? A “People’s Federal Reserve/Public Bank is a common sense solution!
