4. What a great segment.......

I thought I'd seen all of the "TV Nation" episodes but I don't remember seeing that one before. :rofl: Moore certainly has a way of presenting things in a humorous yet deadly serious way. Disguising the piece as a sports program is the only way you could get a huge section of our citizenry interested in health care at all. Yet another home-run for Moore! :applause:

$44 for an Ace Bandage at the U. S. Hospital? :wtf: No wonder our health care system is so screwed up. :mad:

5. I just had to use North Broward General and you should see my bill!!

I got the bill for a much needed emergency room visit the same day I went to see Sicko. Cried through the whole movie. To say I'm depressed is a major understatement. Loved this clip though. Thanks.
