ALBANY — Susie Smith, an Albany nurse, will host a house party to screen “SiCKO,” the film Michael Moore directed about the U.S. health care system.

Smith, a member of the National Nurses Organizing Committee/California Nurses Association, will hold the event at her home at 2101 Princeton Drive in Albany at 6:30 p.m. today.

U.S. Rep. Sanford Bishop, D-Albany, was invited to join the screening and discussion to follow, according to a press release from The National Nurses Organizing Committee/California Nurses Association.

The association is sponsoring similar house parties in 150 cities across the nation as part of a campaign to push the National U.S. Health Insurance Act (House Resolution 676), which would guarantee universal publicly financed, privately provided health care.
