Sick Around the World, a PBS Frontline Documentary will be shown for FREE on

WEDNESDAY, JULY 15TH, 7 PM,

at the LIVINGSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY

Following the movie there will be a community discussion led by a panel of health care professionals, featuring Dr. Richard Damon, a retired family practice physician, Rachel Rockafellow, RN, who teaches at MSU, hosts a radio show on NPR, writes a regular column in the Chronicle and has a clinical practice, and Dr. Hanley Burton who currently practices family medicine in Bozeman.

PRESS QUOTES:

“… This fast-moving and entertaining hour starts from the premise that the American health care system … is a failure. And Mr. Reid makes the case (in about 10 minutes per country) that other capitalist democracies have not just cheaper more equally available health care, but also better care over all, with longer life expectancies and lower infant mortality rates. …” Jonathan Cohn, The New Republic

“… This is an important, most welcomed contribution to the debate over health care — definitely worth a look .” Joanne Ostrow, The Denver Post

“T.R. Reid is an affable traveling companion. Whether eating sushi in Japan, drinking beer in Germany or receiving acupuncture in Taiwan, he gets to the heart of a complicated debate with simple, personal questions. …”

EVENT HOSTED BY MONTANANS FOR SINGLE PAYER HEALTHCARE
