"Sicko" Preview at City Hall

Reggie Cervantes and William Maher were among the handful of Sept. 11 first responders who gathered on the City Hall steps today as a gesture to remind other people suffering from 9/11-related injuries to apply for disability benefits.

Unlike the others, Cervantes and Maher also participated in Michael Moore’s upcoming documentary, "Sicko," which is about health care in America and Cuba. The movie has been criticized preemptively for violating the US ban on traveling to the communist country, and for serving as propaganda for the Castro government.

In this clip, Cervantes tells me -- without professional direction -- that she figures Cuba provided her with the same quality treatment she might have gotten here, but for free.

really now, can Reggie Cervantes stop lying for 1 second and come with the truth. She was with her kids that awful in Queens village.

Here is the pic Cervantes has claimed to be in, taking the fallen Michael Judge from the Towers...

She claims she helped remove the body out of the church by holding the doors of the church for a quick exit when they moved back the perimeter. Of course you knew this because you were there with her like I was!
