Sicko

The opening of this trailer with Bush talking is pretty funny.

Should be interesting to see if this has any impact on making healthcare a talking point, especially with the 2008 election on the way. Healthcare in the US sucks

michael moore does a great job at telling me shit i already know.

i look forward to seeing it, but as solo said...

Michael Moore is just a fat annoying bloke in an anorak. He seems to just have to read between the lines of newspaper stories, for a few idiots who love to buy into conspiracy theories.

I enjoyed Bowling, didn't think much of 9/11, so will probably rent Sicko when it comes out here on dvd.

its gotten great reviews. even from foxnews alough im sure whoever reviewed it will be fired. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,273875,00.html
the decreped and corrupt medical industry and healthcare systems in this country is no laughable conspiracy theory. its is harsh reality.

That review makes it seem like he's actually learnt a lesson from his past films. Hopefully it's right, I'll give it a watch.

Well, it looks interesting and problably be entertaining.

I would think that most people aren't aware of how poor american healthcare is. Hopefully this will get them on the same page as you an michael moore

Just watched this film and I must say it was well worth the buy.

What an eye opener. You Americans are getting absolutley shafted by your health care, it will never change though. I am so grateful I live in Scotland and have excellent healthcare. Anytime I have wanted treatment, I get it. I believe I have paid roughly £20 for medicine in my life.

Moore is a great fighter for the little man, you can say he is a fat bloke and whatever but at least he opens peoples eyes. John Q opened my eyes to health care in the US but Moore has physically slapped me in the face.

To you Americans, how does it feel seeing 9/11 rescue workers being trated in your "enemy" country of Cuba. I have been to Cuba and it is not a warzone, very clean and very friendly.
