Diagnosis: Now!

Wed, 09/10/2008 - 11:47pm — DCblogger

Be one of the first to see the Brave New Films Documentary - Diagnosis: NOW!

On September 14, 2008 we will be releasing a new documentary called “Diagnosis: Now!” produced by Robert Greenwald at Brave New Films. Do you feel secure with your private health insurance? Many people don’t, watch the film to see why.

Even though this is an HCAN't action, I encourage members of the Mighty Corrente Building to participate. It is important that advocates of single payer make their voices heard, in a courteous manner consistent with building a winning coaliton, at their events.

i looked up the nearest house party

it's roughly 400 miles away, thus saving me the moral agony of deciding whether to accidentally support hcan by going to one of their events or to snub hcan and accidentally miss out on a film i should see.

Thanks for the kind words, Corrente

We're also doing an online house party at Firedoglake.com for those who can't make it in person, so head over there at 7pm EST to see the film.

You're welcome

Medicare for All would save $350 billion a year (study in New England Journal of Medicine).

22:03:36 Valley Girl I'd sure like Bruce Dixon's take on the Conyers comments. Just emailed him.

18:16:03 Jeff W lambert, I wrote to NOW about that Elizabeth Warren video not playing and got a response of sorts back, which I sent to you as a private PM. Just FYI.

02:24:14 Jeff W Elizabeth Warren on the economy on PBS's NOW: you can watch it online here: [url] "If [Congress] gets it wrong, the country we knew is gone."
17:52:53 Davidson So, of course they're not going to show the truth about boxing her in from the beginning.
17:51:57 Davidson Yeah, that was just a comment in general, like, "Not even the RBC decision warranted scrutiny."
15:38:02 lambert That's not the RBC meeting, though. That's the smoking gun, beyond "Smart politics" (Wolfson).
14:17:16 Davidson Notice how everyone still avoids exposing the RBC decision
14:16:04 Davidson Can someone do a post on this? [url]
10:04:26 lambert Jeff, thanks. Fixed.
02:05:14 Jeff W lambert, your "especially with Obama's youthful base" link here [url] is broken. :(
