Filmmaker Michael Moore's latest work, "Sicko" is opening up a debate
across the country about the Health Care Crisis facing America.

Seattle area doctors, nurses, caregivers and activists are
joining forces to facilitate a panel discussion about how we can be part
of a movement for a national healthcare plan that gives everyone the
quality
care they deserve. Please join the panelists for a lively discussion
on this
important issue!
