'SiCKO' Star Julie Pierce Continues the Fight

"('SiCKO') made me feel that I wasn't alone, that there were other people out there willing to stand up," Pierce said.

National notoriety has brought a bigger platform after the movie's release. Julie Pierce was called to Capitol Hill to testify before Congress.

Should we be led by a President who has one of the lowest approval ratings in American history?

[cp2378]

we should all do moore!!! and you know it!

[jackrhien]

Actually, I'd STILL be saying the exact same thing. Not much changed between my comment 3 years ago and the rest of his presidency.

@jackrhien ..... you wouldn't have been saying this about George W two years ago....

Oh no we can't change the current health system, Obama has been called a Socialist/Marxist/Nazi/Communi­st, for trying to change it!

Julie, I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my brother, because they thought he was homeless and had no insurance. They put a pacemaker in him. He complained afterward of not feeling well. Pacemaker was broken. They opened him back up and fixed it with glue and silicone. It is noted in his file that he did not feel well 2 days after that surgery, and hours after his escort, in a wheel chair by two officers, and blood on the paper work they gave him, he was dead.

Hey, look at the obesity rate of your fellow Americans, Octobernight. Maybe if the healthcare officials cared more about what was in your body and not in your wallet, things wouldn't be the way they are.
