I tried to get some of my friends to get their ass to KC to see Sicko. They're both former teachers in Camden, Mo, and they pay a hefty $750,- in healthinsurance p/month.
So far they haven't seen it (they're waiting for it to be released on dvd) but I've pushed them numerous times.

I'm not from the States but from The Netherlands - I spend a year in high school and those people were my host-family for a year! Lovely folks, they bake their own bread, drink lots of milk and have a hummerfeeder in the yard. I've never felt more at home anywhere in the world. Gracious people who delighted in the change of culture I brought them, but also delighted in teaching me a thing or two about America.

Now, I've seen your name running around DU for some time, but I never realised you were from the area I call my second home. I'm still planning a trip to Missourah, to see my host-family before they die, or before the airlines won't fly me anymore. I'll be sure to get myself down to Overland Park for the demonstrations against the war! Aren't they on thursdays?
