America's health system is sick, sick, sick, according to a Livingston Democrat running for county commissioner from Hartland.
Adrian Campbell Montgomery, who was featured in Michael Moore's film on American health care Sicko, appeared in a recent edition of Laura Flanders' Show on GritTV to talk about comparisons between the American system and the Canadian one.
Adrian does a fine job in this clip of explaining how, without health care coverage from her employer, she went to Canade for health care when her daughter was sick. (There is no direct link to the clip. Scroll down to the episode for May 22. The discussion of health care begins about 26 and a half minutes in.)
But Adrian isn't through with the health care issue.
She is the Michigan organizer for a National Day of Health Insurance Protest on Thursday (June 19, 2006) at 3 p.m. outside the Blue Cross-Blue Shield of Michigan Building, 500 E. Lafayette Blvd., Detroit. The goal is to bring attention to legislation for a single payer health care system, HR 676, or Medicare for All.
"It is time to end profits on people's lives!" Adrian says.

"We do need a megaphone, if anyone who would like to come can bring one, we would greatly appreciate it, as we plan on making some noise," she said.
