I am not a big fan of Michael Moore, but I did learn from a fellow parent on CI Circle today that his new film, Sicko, revolving around the problems with the American Health Insurance system, contains a rather large story about a four year old boy denied coverage for his bilateral implant. The good news is that after Moore became involved, the child did get approval for his second implant.
I previously had no intentions of seeing this movie, but I think it's worth a look now. You can view the trailer, although there is no preview of the cochlear implant story.
I really want to see it, but I can't hear in movie theaters and it seems no movie theaters in our area have captioned shows...
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I'll be sure to see it.
ReplyDeleteI am so thrilled to see how well Drew is doing!
I can't wait to hear how his activation goes.
I saw him on Oprah a few weeks ago and it was a real eye opener what he discovered. I just hope it opens the eyes of the executives and law makers that it is aimed at. -Mary
