Michael Moore's documentary video called the Sicko?

Anyone watchi this film? What are your thoughts about it? Has anyone experienced anything like what was shown in the movie?? I am extremely amazed at this movie and didn't realize that is how things truly are in the U.s?

Who is Michael Moore?? Why do some ppl dislike him so much? Name sounds familar?

Please realize that this movie only tells half the story.

I refuse to watch garbage from Michael Moore.

its all just anti american propaganda

Yes, I loved it. (there's no 'The' in the title though, it's just Sicko).

Americans claim to be at the forefront of society, yet they still can't provide adequate healthcare for their people. The NHS sucks, but it's better than nothing!

even bill clinton thinks michael moore is an idiot.

yea ive seen it down to others in a dallas hospital i forgot what it was called. micheal moore tells the truth people should really watch his films

He's actually mostly on the ball with criticism of the US; where he falls flat is in extremely selective reporting (Moore specialty) of other countries' health care systems -- way underreports their citizens' dissatisfactions.

Yes.

Propaganda.

No.

Things aren't like that in the U.S., but I would think you already knew that if you were, indeed, a Texas Girl.

Michael Moore is a blind, rampaging Democrat and has his own agenda. He's only concerned with promoting himself and uses less knowledgable people as stepping stones to do so.

i did not see the film, but i understand it was well done.
michael moore is an author and writter that the conservatives
cannot stand. good for him.

I found it extremely interesting. I knew how healthcare was in Canada, but I didn't really know much about how damaging having to pay for it in the United States was. What I found the most interesting was the cost of medicine in Cuba, and the healthcare in France.

Michael Moore has lying down to an Art. His ability to pull things out of context and draw inferences is shocking. Don't trust anything you see from him at full face value, read into it. I don't know a single liberal who doesn't think he is an embarrassment to journalism and liberal politics. His supporters only seem to show up on the internet in short bursts of typos and "emotionalized" logic.

I liked the movie but the thing I kept thinking about is that it is bias. But if it was a conservative making a movie about the US health care system, everything would look perfect.
I haven't personally dealt with what happened in the film but I know that some of my friends without health insurance are pushed out of their hospital stays alot quicker than ones with health insurance.
Unfortunately, I doubt we will ever have a perfect system in this country.

It's another pile of manipulated truths, half-truths and outright lies by Moore. I refuse to watch anything of his or do anything that would put one cent into his pocket. We have very good health care in the US. My wife and I are both alive because of it. Her, an aggressive form of breast cancer. Me, bacterial spinal meningitis.

I'm shocked that you would take his word for how things are since some 57 things in farenheit were wrong. In the Bowling for columbine movie the bank and free gun were stage set. falsehoods and the Roger and me movie was an out and out lie. Moore's father was a union rep who was in the same country club as GM's roger smith. He wasn't at the right Club and he knew it because he knew him personally from family ties. MM is a dishonest person.

I thought it was very interesting. I was leery of it before I saw it because I had never seen a Michael Moore documentary and I know he doesn't have the best rep.

But he places a brilliant and cohesive argument. The fact is all government entities are struggling with funding issues -and it can really be attributed to inefficiency. The health care industry is no exception. Because of HMO's as a nation we are basically draining money to gamble on the chance of not getting sick.

I think the only solution is socialized medicine. It may not be perfect, but it makes more sense to provide socialized medicine as a public service. A healthy economy is strongly dependent on the quality of its labor.
