The big man of muckraking film, Michael Moore, has announced his new work in progress, Sicko, on the state of health care in America. In his latest missive to the masses, he is putting out the call for stories illustrating where health coverage and medical treatment go awry. Given the producer and the topic, I think this is a great way to bring the topics of anti-fat discrimination and health at every size alternatives into the mix of the story which will unfold for Moore's viewership.
I do think Russell, Lynn and Allen especially can provide Michael with a lot of material in general as well as their own personal stories, but the more people from the fat community chime in, the more he will recognize the situation of the adipose in the current health care system as a resonant issue.
The complete announcement can be found here, with an invitation to email [email protected] with a brief account of your health care horror stories.
