Documentary look at health care in the United States as provided by profit-oriented health maintenance organizations (HMOs) compared to free, universal care in Canada, the U.K., and France. Moore contrasts U.S. media reports on Canadian care with the experiences of Canadians in hospitals and clinics there. He interviews patients and doctors in the U.K. about cost, quality, and salaries. He examines why Nixon promoted HMOs in 1971, and why the Clintons' reform effort failed in the 1990s. He talks to U.S. ex-pats in Paris about French services, and he takes three 9/11 clean-up volunteers, who d... eveloped respiratory problems, to Cuba for care. He asks of Americans, "Who are we?"

moore may have an excellent point that in America you either need an excellent healthcare plan through your own payments or through work, or you end up going bankrupt if you get ill and want to get treatment. however he offers nothing new or well investigated and focuses upon comparing America to other countries who do it 'better', and in several ways he illustrates that he does not adhere to the principle of documentary filmmaking (that you follow the truth even if the truth ends up being something you didn’t envision).
The next paragraph contains spoilers: for instance I live in Britain and I and almost everyone I know has the following experience – we are working ...
Michael Moore,s most focussed film to date
Michael Moore polarises opinion like just about nobody else I can think of with the possible exception of George Galloway. His detractors ,namely the rich and powerful , neo cons and those stapled to the right politically plus the plain dumb and ignorant say( The plain dumb and ignorant probably don’t in all fairness, after all they are ignorant and dumb. They just know the guy rubs them up the wrong way) that he misrepresents the truth , lies even just to get his political agenda across. Coming from such an opinion base this is hypocrisy of the highest order. Stop whining …you lot do it all the time .Even if Michael Moore is bending reality sometimes, so what ,he’s pla...
No one ever accused Michael Moore of not having a point of view.
A master propagandist and disturber of the peace with an eye for pretense and hypocrisy, Moore can orchestrate outrage pro and con like no one else. It wasn't an accident that his Fahrenheit 9/ll was the highest-grossing documentary of all time; it was business as usual.
Moore is back again examining America's healthcare system in the aptly named Sicko. It's likely his most important, most impressive, most provocative film, and it's different from his others in significant ways.
For one thing, Michael the Confronter, the man who relished face-to-face encounters with the ric...

now u can weed out who is evil just ask people before u start talking to them. how do they feel about heathcare. if they like it they will have yo back if not keep yo eye on them!
Not to much into documentarys but this one was worth it. I live in the US born and raised and it does have a very uncaring health care system, and we should be doing something about it yet we're not. Most likely we wont ever. All i know is this is a really insightful film.
Wendell Potter, a former PR executive in the healthcare industry, confirmed the observations of this film recently when asked, "did Michael Moore get it right in 'SiCKO'?" "Yup. In fact, I went to go see it to take notes, to know what I was going to have to respond to. He was right on."
WoW! This guy Michael Moore is so necessary. I really commend him on his film making and this is def my favorite. I hope it won an award or two. The interview w/Tony Benn was basically it in a nutshell. America is/ was run by greedy nefarious thieves. Extremely wicked inhumane people. Americans need to take a leaf or two out of the French's standards and protest! Clearly it's worth it..
i cant understand the comments about health care is free here no it is not free health care is not free any where in the world it comes out of your taxes i am only sick to see how sick people and poor been treated there with no dignity and stop blaming this on nixon and others it is the societies fault not correcting wrong doings and how many presidents past since done nothing about it it is all down to the people who elected them
Don't Americans pay enough taxes anyhow to cover healthcare?! crazy.
Not all meds are covered here in Canada, but at least I can deliver a baby in a hospital (even have a C section) and not pay for it. I can go to emerg. and be treated well and not pay for it..very thankful for our healthcare. Even welfare covers certain meds etc.
