Sicko screens Sunday at the PPL

If you missed Sicko, the latest offering from Michael Moore, the Providence Public Library has a screening and discussion planned for Sunday:

Providence Public Library is pleased to present a free screening of Michael Moore’s award-winning documentary SICKO at 1:30 pm on Sunday, January 27 at Central Library (Barnard Room, 3rd Floor), 150 Empire Street, Providence. Filmgoers are invited to stay for a discussion of the health care issues facing Rhode Islanders following the film: 3:30 – 4:30 pm. 

 

Discussion will be lead by Providence resident Lisa Grant and will specifically address H.R. 676: U.S. National Health Insurance Act introduced by John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) on January 24, 2007.

Healthcare will be a top issue in the 2008 national election. Debate is heating up in Rhode Island, where legislation is under way similar to Massachusetts’ recent law mandating health care insurance for all residents. 

 

Seating is limited. To reserve a place or for more details, call: 537-9175.
