Michael Moore's Sicko Dvd By uaezarb on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
Did you know that in a particular country there are 50 million people without some type of health insurance? Roughly 18,000 a year die because of the lack of health insurance. No, I'm not talking about some third world country here. I'm talking about right here in the United States! I have always known our health care system is seriously flawed, but after seeing Michael Moore's "Sicko" documentary, I realized it was even worse than I thought. This film will show you how our health care system is being controlled by the lobbyists.
This documentary takes you to countries like Canada, France and the United Kingdom to compare their universal health care to our for-profit system. We are being fed propaganda in this country about universal health care, and this film uncovers the truth.
There has been a lot of controversary over this documentary, but I think it should start everyone thinking about what is really happening in this country with our health care, whether you believe all the facts or not.
This is one movie that should be seen by every American!

I have seen this, and agree, it should be seen by everybody in the US
Michael Moore does some interesting stuff, we'll have to check this one out.
I watched this a while back and found it to be extremely interesting especially the way he puts forth the information.
i've seen this movie and it made me shed buckets of tears for some reason. My friend saw this before me and was totally convinced to move to france lol
I have never seen this yet..but I will ;)
His report of the British National Health Service was not entirely accurate but he does make a good argument in support of free health service for all.
I too have seen this film and enjoyed it. Like any Moore film, It hink it is important to remember he is a brilliant film maker and presents only his side of the argument.
Sounds like a great documentary. Our health care system is a joke. My husband is self employed and we pay $2581.00 every month for health insurance. We don't know how much longer we can continue to pay this amount. Something needs to be done.
Because Michael Moore is so biased and presents an asymmetrical argument, I tend to dismiss half of what he shares in Sicko. But he does expose a seriously flawed health care system in the United States. But his depiction of the UK model is seriously flawed. In its current state GB's members must also purchase "private" insurance to avoid the long waits at the government clinics.
I saw this movie recently and as you said, it really made me realize how bad things are in the US with health care. It is so sad to see the stories of real people and what they are going through.
