*SICKO Viewers' Guide for People of  Faith*

*Faithful Reform in Health Care* has produced a  **Viewers' Guide* to
SICKO* for people of faith who care about  being a part of the
solution in addressing the crisis in U.S.  health care.  The moral
tone of the movie offers a  wonderful opportunity for reflection and
dialogue about health  care reform within communities of faith. This
Guide was  developed to help facilitate that process.

For those of us  who are committed to making health care reform
happen in the  United States, Michael Moore’s new film SICKO is a
must-see.  Through laughter and tears, we are drawn into the
absurdities of the U.S. health care system.  But even more
important, with its powerful stories about people who have  suffered
because they were denied needed health care, the film  reminds us
that as people of faith we have not yet been the  change agents we
are meant to be.

As our  nation once again puts health care reform on its legislative
agenda, voices of faith will be called upon to elevate the moral
message in support of affordable health care for all. Viewing  and
talking about this film within our congregations will give  us the
opportunity to expand the circle of those willing to  raise their
voices in support of health care for all.  In  addition, considering
where our faith values connect with the  stories of those who are
suffering will give us opportunities  to address this as a moral
crisis which calls for our prophetic  leadership.

Gather a group together to view the film, talk  about it, and commit
to becoming part of the solution.   Voices of faith have been
integral to successful social reform  movements in the United States,
and health care reform will be  no exception.  Our work can begin
with reflection and  action today.  This guide is offered to help
make that  possible.
