Sicko(2007)- User Reviews

Its unfortunate that many people will not see this simply because they do not like Michael Moore's political views. However, whether you are Democrat or Republican this is a must see as it exposes what the U.S. government does not want you to see. People in the U.S. believe that the U.S. health system is the best in the world, whereas in reality its one of the worst among non-3rd world countries. Health care for profit has been a deadly and distrastrous policy that needs to change but probably will not as the politicians and health providers the ones who benefit and reap billions in $$$ from the American people are simply way too powerful, greedy, and selfish. I was shocked to see that people can get medicines that cost over $100.00 here in the U.S. for only 5 cents in Cuba of all places. Nationalized free health care is the norm in places like Canada, Great Britain, and France, whose residents all live longer than people in the U.S. It must be wonderful to live somewhere where you never have to worry about co-pays, costly prescriptions, or referrals and could walk into any hospital you would like anytime you would like. Doctors in these other countries can spend their time focusing on patients, instead of denying care, worrying about $$$, or worrying about lawsuits making them less stressed and more effective as well. Why can't America wake up and see this? I think if everyone in America saw this movie, this country would progress and finally get free health-care for all. Unfortunately, a minority of rich, selfish, and powerful want to keep you dumb, poor, and deny you coverage. Sad. Keep up the good work Michael Moore, your one of the last true champions of the underdog/little guy in the U.S. Peace.
