DESCRIPTION:\nTHE HEALTHCARE MOVIE\nby Laurie Simons and Terry Sterrenberg\nNarrated by 
 Keifer Sutherland\n\nDo you ever wonder how Canada got their beloved health 
 care system?  Why is the U.S. so afraid of providing healthcare without an 
 insurance industry that skims 25-35% off the top of every healthcare dollar 
 spent?  This feature length documentary will clear up the mystery and 
 entertain you at the same time!  In Canada, healthcare is regarded as a 
 social service and treated as a responsibility of the government to be 
 provided to every citizen.  Not so in the United States.  In America, 
 healthcare is regarded as a profit-making commodity, to be operated for the 
 financial gain of insurance and pharmaceutical companies, doctors, and 
 hospitals.\n\nThis eye-opening documentary considers how it came to be that 
 the two systems, Canadian and American, ended up in such different places.  
 It explores the health care system in Canada:  how it came to be, how it 
 works for ordinary Canadians, how it is paid for, and how it compares to 
 its American counterpart.  It reveals the public relations campaigns that 
 have been prevalent in the U.S. since the early 1900′s to dissuade the 
 American public from supporting national healthcare.  It also shows the 
 personal and emotional impact on Canadians who now have access to 
 healthcare because of the heroism of people who took a stand to bring 
 universal healthcare to Canada over 50 years ago.  Get acquainted with 
 Tommy Douglas, Canadian hero of healthcare who famously said:  “People 
 are more important than profits.”  The issue of healthcare in America 
 goes far beyond a line in the national budget.  It reaches into the center 
 of the American soul and answers the question, “How in the world do we 
 want to treat each other?”\n\nWheelchair accessible around the corner at  
 411  28th  Street\n\ndonations are accepted\n\nThis film screening is 
 sponsored by\nThe Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club\n\n
