If you're a Canadian healthcare worker, you get to see Michael Moore's doc
Sicko gratis - from today (Monday) till Thursday (July 26). This comes after
6000 Canadian nurses took up the offer from Alliance Atlantis earlier this
month. Details below.
And hey, healthcare workers, just watch what you buy at those concession
stands, okay? We need you to stay healthy.

ALLIANCE ATLANTIS* MOTION PICTURE DISTRIBUTION OFFERS CANADIAN HEALTHCARE
WORKERS
FREE ADMISSION TO MICHAEL MOORE'S ACCLAIMED FILM SiCKO FROM JULY 23 to 26,
2007
EXPANSION OF TICKET OFFER MADE AFTER 6000 NURSES ACROSS CANADA SAW SiCKO FOR
FREE IN JUST FOUR DAYS
TORONTO, ONTARIO – July 20, 2007 - All regulated healthcare workers across
Canada presenting valid ID (as set out below) will be able to see SiCKO for
free from Monday July 23 to Thursday July 26 to further encourage members of
the public to see Michael Moore's provocative and acclaimed film.
The offer comes after The United Nurses of Alberta purchased 150 tickets to
distribute to the public. Filmmaker Michael Moore had congratulated the
Union on their efforts and offered to reimburse the union for their action.
Subsequently, Alliance Atlantis* Motion Picture Distribution extended the
free admission offer to all card-carrying nurses in Canada. Over 6000 nurses
accepted the invitation in just four days. The new initiative will allow all
regulated healthcare workers to get into SiCKO for free from Monday July 23
to Thursday July 26 by bringing their practice permit, license or
registration card to any Cineplex Entertainment, Empire Theatre, or Landmark
Cinema showing the film.
Commenting on the expanded opportunity, Jim Sherry, Executive Managing
Director of Alliance Atlantis* Motion Picture Distribution said, "we're
pleased to be able to both give the opportunity for more people to see this
remarkable movie and to say thank you to the healthcare community for their
important contribution to the well-being of all Canadians."
When reached for comment, Michael Moore said, "I want to thank the
Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario* *for encouraging their members to
bring your political leaders to go see SiCKO. It's important to remind your
elected officials how critical it is to protect your Medicare system
established by Tommy Douglas, and the values and ideals behind it of taking
care of everyone in society, no matter how rich or poor. And it's not like
your MPs and MPPs have anything better to do on a Friday night anyway."
