Moore strikes again
Actually, this film had no surprises for those of us that have dealt with medical insurance companies and have a true understanding of how bad America's health care system truly is. To those members of the public who are unenlightened the film reveals just how bad capitalism can be when applied to the nation's health. The profit motive works to deny appropriate health care to millions of people with health insurance and (this film was made before Obamacare was enacted) allowed insurance companies to deny coverage to millions more. This film should have been played around the clock on all networks during the struggle to pass Obamacare. The USA spends more per capita on health care than any other advanced country and has one of the worst stats on the actual health of its people. While insurance companies make hundreds of millions and pay their CEOs fantastic salaries people are literally being murdered in the name of profit. Moore with his usual brilliance tells this tale of tragedy in an entertaining way setting forth the facts in a calm humanitarian way I for one don't know how he keeps his composure while exposing our supposed representatives who have been bought by the big insurance and drug companies. Moore sets forth these companies lobbying efforts as well as their deceptive campaigns used to defeat Bill Clinton's attempt to pass universal healthcare coverage during his presidency. These methods were of course used again again in the fight against Obamacare. I wish I could say there were some laughs in the film. There is certainly irony but it is hard to stomach the undeniable fact that Insurance companies have been killing their fellow Americans for the sake of profit. The very sad fact is that in spite of Michael Moore's best efforts and in spite of Obamacare the behavior of the insurance companies haven't changed all that much. This is a great film and it ends on a hopefull note. I just wish it was mandatory viewing in the boardrooms of the insurance companies.

The Status of American Medicine?
We get the feeling sometimes, that Americans busy as they are, do not have time to look into Health Care. Michael Moore reveals that the US has been surpassed by most of the world in making affordable health care available to most or everyone. He notes in passing that the folks in healthcare are obsessed with greed, and so they are as illustrated by a group of Americans who could not get treatment even after serving in 9/11 Rescue work. By a strange and laughable humor, Moore takes these maltreated heros to Cuba where they get some love and treatment free of charge. Moore compares the USA medical care with Canada, France and Cuba. And we get a good feel of how the US treats its own citizenry, there is no need for statistics. The message of what needs to be done is not that complicated in this video. Americans in many ways have listened to Christ's message to help the least. This is one area, even during this pandemic, where Americans have failed.

SICKO
While I can't support Michael Moore on every issue, his movie "Sicko" is absolute truth expressed in a most concise, poetic way. Everyone should view this movie- especially people opposed to Universal Health Care..

An Eye-Opener
This documentary was amusing at times, but the information Mr. Moore brings to light is sobering indeed. Lack of affordable healthcare is no laughing matter when people are seriously or terminally ill. The United States was once the most powerful nation on the planet, but we've been sleeping while other nations have been engineering and enacting policies which makes theirs a healther and more cohesive society. Don't rely on the sickcare system, folks, or you will be disappointed. Alternately, we could all move to France and eat, drink and be merry--and healthy.
