Sicko (Special Edition)

Michael Moore has done it again. This production --just like his previous works-- more than anything else, is a great service to the public, especially to the people of the United States. I hope every single person in the USA will make an effort to see this film and, all of them will take action to correct this outrageous disregard of the most essential right of every human being. It is hard to believe that the wealthiest, the most powerful nation on earth does not have a universal health-care system. By bringing this highly critical issue to the attention of the masses Mihael Moore has accomplished a great deal. I am very fortunate to live in Canada, one of the countries he visited to show how a decent health-care system does --and should-- work. Ted Kennedy tried very hard to make the same point several years ago; apparently his effeorts have not made any difference. I hope this film will create a positive change.

This is an excelent documentary ! Here in Brazil it is the same. It is the real truth !! Congratulations.

I don't know about you, but I am scared to death. In-between me and my doctor, sits a corporate administrative layer, who decides what treatment I may receive and what they will cover, based mainly on their profit projections! This movie expertly analyzes the U.S. health care system, which is the most costly in the world, per person, and then compares that with other health care systems. I leave it to you, to decide which yields the better results.

If an impoverished nation like Cuba can have free, universal health care, why can't the United States?? How many people have to die? Our average life expectancy is lower than many other countries. Does the governement just not care, or are our lawmakers too deep in the pockets of health care lobbyists? Look around you. Someone you know can't afford to get sick. It's time to do something about it, and it starts from the top up. Election 2008!

As one of the newly uninsured in the US (I have VA medical coverage which is NOT considered 'credible coverage'by insurance companies!) I cannot locate a policy which I can afford and which affords me coverage for so called pre-existing conditions.

I was furious when I realized the inmates in Guantanamo, US prisons and our Congress have better insurance than the average American citizen! The most powerful and industrialized country in the world and we do not take care of our own. Moore hit the nail on the head with this one!
