Sicko (Special Edition)

I first saw this DVD in Netflix. I was so shaken by this DVD that I decided to buy my own copy and make at least 10 families watch this. The dirty games played by the insurance companies and their congessional buddies is unbelievable. This is a country by the lobbyists, for the lobbyists and of the lobbyists. Alas, who speaks up for the common man, except guys like Michael Moore..One qestion that comes to mind while watching this: WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE IN THIS COUNTRY?

If you were the kind of person that sent your friends to see "Fahrenheit 9/11" you will need to buy this DVD to loan to twice as many friends. Unless you have had to use your health insurance in the past couple of years, you have no idea how out of control costs and restrictions are -- making health care financially unattainable FOR THE INSURED! Regardless of how you feel about "socialized health care", you must watch this film to understand why America's plan is not working.

As a Doc 4 over 30 yrs. worldwide, I would say this movie is a terrific wake-up call for the American general public.

Mr. Moore states that USA is ranked no. 37 in health care while showing the list of countries. No. *39* was CUBA(!) -- the same country he later claims has one of the best health care systems in the world!

Huh?

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.
