Sicko

I have no doubts that his points about the insurance industry are adequate.

But his own reputation of inflating "facts" to serve his own agenda have been shown over and over again.

Sadly, his "message" is lost on folks like me, who know he wont present the entire story.

You can say that only if those you speak of know nothing about the movie maker, Michael Moore. I think that those commenting here have probably watched some of his work and base their opinions on that. I know that's true for me. You don't have to taste **** to know it's a ****.

I watched it. He's a socialist, pure and simple. He rails about the evils of our healthcare system, and holds up government run health systems as the ultimate answer.

He completely ignores the fact that in a system where you have limited supply, and unlimited demand, rationing ensues. He also ignores the fact that there now are travel agencies which specialize in getting you out of socalist healthcare countries, and into ours, to get much needed treatment.

It's a warm, glossy, and completely 1 sided view of things intended to promote his ideals. It's even less fair & balanced than Supersize Me, which is tough to do.

Michael Moore owns stock in Haliburton.

I don't rent movies that are produced by a self-proclaimed "producer" that manipulates facts, data, and information into a documentary and carrys a obvious political agenda.  (Except maybe Charleton Heston )

I would suggest "Michael Moore Hates America" documentary next to flush your system of the brainwashing that has taken place in front of your TV.

LOL Ripsnort me too. Can't go wrong with Ben Hur.

The only good documentary Michael Moore did was "Roger & Me"

Say what you will about Michael Moore, but Canadian Bacon with John Candy was freaking hilarious!

I can't wait for Moore's mockumentary on Obesity and the drain it puts on the healthcare system!

That'd make Michele Moore a "hypocrite"?

It's not impossible that this bitterly funny, bitterly sad call to alms could move reform back up the political agenda. For that reason alone, you owe it to yourself to see this movie.

Did the really say call to alms?

1: archaic : charity
2: something (as money or food) given freely to relieve the poor

that's a clever turn of phrase.

I dont know if he is lying in sicko, I havent seen it. I do know that Moore considered to film in Sweden to compare with the US, but they chose not to, because everone in the US would think the Swedish health care model wass made up. Instead they filmed in Norway I think.

heh, it was Norway not Sweden. He went to France insted.
