Sicko (Special Edition)
Rating: 
- If you like silly exaggerations, you will like this.
Filled with many well produced exaggerations designed to make a point and not necessary the truth of the situation.While healthcare needs reform in the US, pointing to healthcare systems in other countries where their citizens come to the US for care if they can afford the cost is ridiculous.Anyone that's followed Michael Moore's work has learned to expect a certain amount of exaggeration in his films, but Sicko sets a new high bar for him.Net-Net: entertaining fiction presented as truth.

- WOW !! Have we been screwed
The rich get richer and we take it in the shorts. This is one of the most informative videos that I have seen in a long time. The straw that broke the camels back was when a backward third world country has better medical facilities than in the U.S.A and takes care of our heroes with no questions asked when our country turns there back on them......so so sad it makes you sick to your stomach!!!!
Rating: - Cold, hard truth.
This video is amazing.It is full of emotion-stirring imagery and accounts of all that is wrong with American Health Care...or the lack there of.There is so much out there that we do not know.This documentary brings it all to light.Granted, these are some of the worst cases out there, but with over 25,000 entries submitted...how do you filter?Regardless, these are all accounts that should not be in any system.Especially if that system touts itself as the Best of the Best.With so much wrong with the world today, or at least this country, it refreshing to know that there are people out there trying to fix it.Michael Moore may be controversial...but you have to ask yourself, is it because he is nothing but a radical...or is it because he's telling us the truth that we dont want to hear?This video truly leaves one 'sick' ...but it shows us that we have a long way to go, and there is a lot that needs to be fixed.I recommend this video to anyone.Time to wake up people!
Rating: - Whether you like Moore or not, he got this one right.....
It is probably difficult for many people to like Michael Moore in anything after some of the junk he has produced in the past.However,setting that aside,I think ALL OF US in America should watch his new DVD, "Sicko".It is a shame that so many people of this great land do not have health insurance when we claim to be the greatest nation on earth.For the cost of 2 days of the war in Iraq there could be health insurance for every American. Moore takes you into possibilities and opportunities thrown away by our politicians to help its citizens on this matter. He discussess all of the excuses Washington and the White House makes for the non socialism of medicine in this country.For the most part,the documentary is well done except in a few parts.One is,no matter what the reason,he should never have endangered the lives of the folks (in his craft) by approaching Guantanamo Bay Military Base for any reason. Military bases operate under strict regulations and are no place to petitionanything.I enjoyed very much learning about Cuba and other lands which have full health coverage for all of their citizens.What is it now, almost 50 years since we have seen live feeds from that island. Yes, he does have a few fudge factors to help his plea,but for the most part, surprisingly he is accurate on data. For personal taste and importance of this movie,Moore surely could have thought of a much more appropriate title,but who knows why he does these things. guyairey

This is a must see movie for the entire country. If you are ill, or have ever needed medicial attention, see what is possible if America stops talking down socialized medicine.
