Just Saw Moore's 'Sicko' and it made me Very Angry
Edited on Fri Jun-15-07 11:45 AM by JCMach1
I don't want to rant any spoilers, but I just wanted to say :wtf: are we doing to each other in America over the healthcare issue!

It isn't so hard. Every other country does it with relatively few problems.

Patient dumping, application hit men, denial of emergency treatment, 5cent drugs that cost $120, forgotten heroes of 9/11! :grr:

Damn it's time to kick the HMO's, the pharma companies, and the GREEDY doctors (please note the ones who don't want to change the system and are benefiting from it to the curb.

Oh yeah, and then there are those enablers in Washington... they should get the boot too.

Excellent movie once it is released in the States.

1. I can't wait to see this movie
even though I know it's going to make me even more angry about the situation than I already am.

2. Moore really relies on storytelling in this one... is rather low-key
on the sensational and the cinematography...

Still a very good documentary.
