Local caregivers to check in with SiCKO
Groups of nurses and doctors dressed in scrubs will greet movie goers all over Los Angeles and nationwide Friday at 3,000 screenings of Michael Moore's documentary, "SiCKO."
"Calling it the "Scrubs for SiCKO" campaign, organizers will recruit registered nurses and doctors to every theater in the nation where "SiCKO" opens to ensure that caregivers – in SiCKO scrubs—are in the audience," according to the California Nurses Association.
The goal is to distribute information to moviegoers to support overhaul of the nation’s healthcare system. The CNA is supporting-payer/Medicare-for-all-type legislation such as HR 676 now pending in Congress and several states.
The CNA also supports Senate Bill 840, authored by Sen. Sheila Kuehl.
