amazing how you believe everything you hear in it.
Alot of it is total bull .
Pretty good flick.
Amazing how much healthier the Brits, French, Canadians and Cubans are.
Emphasis is truly on getting better, not on scheming profits.
USA healthcare CEOs and policians are truly sickos.

Go ahead, lets hear your do ented evidence.
I don't really mind the fact that Moore is on the left.
Frankly, I agree with the argument he is most likely making in this movie.
But the dude is a liar and people believe his movies to be complete fact.
Therefore, this is yet another movie Moore has made since Bowling for Columbine (biggest lies ever), that I won't see.
Do any people like you agree with the argument he is making and not believe everything he presents in every movie he makes is complete fact? I don't think you are the only one.
T_Park have you ever been out of Texas?
I'm actually reading that alot of sites are checking the claims/facts from "Sicko" and they're actually checking out...kind of alarming...
No I've never been out of texas.
Thats why i do business in california and arizona and have done purchasings in italy, netherlands, and other places.
Moore is a complete liar and about 80% of his movies are lies, or made up BS.
Also his arguement is pretty much for socialized medicine.
No. I have business partners and friends that live in England and they tell me that their medical system is FUBAR.
They said our system has its flaws but is twice what england's is.
Thats funny because i hear just the opposite from good friends in Switzerand, Finland, and sweden. (my parents hosted a lot of exchange students in highschool)
They are disgusted with our healthcare system and couldnt imagine a world without theirs.
Moore's argument that our nation's health care is screwed up is airtight. Insurance companies deny life-saving care for the sake of profit, and are not held accountable for it. We pay sky-high drug prices primarily so drug companies can market their products on TV. Inexpensive natural remedies are legislated out of existence so that the expensive synthetic products can be forced upon us.
His argument that we need a single-payer system... is not so airtight. There are other ways to skin that cat.
Cuba is an embarrassment to us, because they are able to achieve the kind of results they do while spensing just $250 per capita on health care. Part of that is because doctors make a pittance there, but much of it goes to their system of preventive care and cross-function cooperation in the face of outdated and undermaintained facilites, and chronic supply shortages. The U.S. has attempted to bust the Cuban health care system by making it impossible for them to get even basic drugs, but it hasn't worked.
Cuba is an utterly impoverished nation, with a repressive and corrupt communist government, with a capital city that is half in ruins due to decades of neglect, but Cubans on average are healthier than Americans.
The difference is that their culture is healtheir than ours, and their health care system is focused upon making patients better as the first priority, instead of exploiting them to make money.
There is a difference between simply being for-profit, and actively undermining people's health to exploit them for profit, and then letting them die when life-saving treatments, that never would have been necessary in the first place with decent preventive care, get too expensive and cut into profits.
I never watch Moore's movies. I had to sit through Columbine and I hated it, same with F-911. So, I probably won't watch this one, but if he's right on this, as many say it is, then good for him for finally making a do entry that is credible.
Moore just hates everything about America and this movie is just another example of it, he's only showing one side of the story the side he wants you to see. Sure our health care system has it's flaws but I'd rather be treated here than anywhere else in the world.
I've never used Ebay.![]()
All I know is that health care in this country is jacked. If you know any one in Canada and you had a talk with them about health care you'd be shocked. I know I was. This movie is in Moore's style so there might be a bit of distorted "facts." The important thing is that people will hopefully want to improve our health care and get talking about it. Our country could use affordable health care for all.
My understanding is his knowing a good many were onto his fabrications in his other docus made him set out to make this one straight. So far it seems so other then T_Parks British business contacts.
I'm guessing this is also your review of "Super Size Me".
You do realize that there almost as many people without medical insurance here in the US as there are people in the UK, right?
I guess that would cons ute as a minor flaw, eh?
Yes lets let the government take control of the medical system.
BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT IS EFFICENT!!
You need help.I'm guessing this is also your review of "Super Size Me".
Don't worry about T-Park, he's harmless. He's just taking whatever his "God Bless America and No Place Else" Texas loving buddies say to him while they're out gun shopping and regurgitating it here like he's actually thought about it.
As Moore pointed out, they already run the postal system, the schools (for the most part), the fire depts, the police depts. Don't act like its such a foreign idea. As inefficient as the US Govt is, perhaps they would be more efficent then their current criminal partners the insurance companies.
Michael Moore is an entertainer and shouldn't be viewed as much more than that. His movies raise alot of good questions but really doesn't offer a real solution to anything. Watch it, laugh, take it all with a huge grain of salt, and use it as a springboard to find out the real truth for yourself.
Yeah uh, and look at the huge mess those things are.the schools (for the most part
No.
Government ran health care is a mistake this country cannot afford to make.
Im shocked at the number of people who are ready to just turn more control of day to day life to the government.
Unreal.
The postal service and schools have a variety of private alternatives that offer a high level of service to those who are able to afford it.
