no.
nor do i plan to
..."director michael moore’s latest documentary is entitled sicko and the target is american health care....
"...michael moore would have failed my ninth grade debate class. a successful debater always presents the counterpoints and then tries to prove that the positive points they are defending overwhelm the negative points....
but somehow, moore hasn’t really learned this, or perhaps his ego has gotten in the way of his development of a filmmaker --i.e. making more balanced movies...
...he goes to canada, england, france and, finally, havana, cuba....
...this is also the point where sicko offers its most incomplete points....
...all of these foreign health care systems are presented as virtual utopias....
...doctors are friendly despite lower pay...
...no one waits in lines...
...there’s no bill at the end...
...and everyone is treated like a king....
...of course, there are other sides to this, especially in cuba where, to put it lightly, there are some rather compelling downsides to havana life....
...it’s interesting hearing other perspectives on these points made by moore because, in essence, he is only presenting his perspective and manipulating that perspective to such a point as to almost be construed as fiction...."

You can like or dislike Michael Moore, but the guy knows how to make an engaging and interesting movie. I don't know that I am completely convinced by everything I saw in the movie, but it is highly informative and it draws a lot of unsettling comparisons between our own health system and systems in other countries. Facts don't lie. I would challenge anyone to research the points of this film for them-self before they automatically discard what it has to say.
I'd recommend this movie to anyone who has ever received a doctor bill in the United States and felt completely ripped off and overcharged. (Namely everyone I've ever met!) After watching this movie you may feel quite justified in feeling so screwed! (And probably just a bit pissed off too.)

before everything, loose healthcare - we would desire to continuously get that contained in the united kingdom, might clean up an excellent sort of issues! in spite of the fact that we've a device the place healthcare is in a roundabout way charged to tax payers. I stay contained in the united kingdom. i'm uninterested paying larger cost tax to assist people who have placed not something into the device. The NHS replaced into instituted to maintain workers wholesome and working - not as a loose for thinking approximately each lazy bum that hasn't have been given a job. I comprehend that there are some people who do not slot in the two type - yet in each device some human beings lose out - right here contained in the united kingdom it rather is the mugs that pass to artwork! Charles Darwin - uk government have in no way heard of him!

A great movie. It is amazing that we can raise money for a war, but can't help our citizen's when it comes to health care.
