Il bersaglio di Michael Moore è il sistema sanitario statunitense che costringe migliaia e migliaia di persone a morte certa perché prive di un'assicurazione. Ma questo argomento non è che il prologo di Sicko perché in un breve arco di tempo l'attenzione si concentra su quelli che invece una copertura assicurativa ce l'hanno ma scoprono che le grandi e piccole società del settore escogitano qualsiasi strategia per evitare di pagare il dovuto.

Loved this dvd. Michael Moore does it again.
This film really opens your eyes to America's healthcare. You realise the system in USA favours the rich and people who can work. The queue's to see a free doctor when they occasionally visit towns are horrendus. All those people cant get treated and cant get their medication. Many cant afford to buy their medication. Its a very sad look at USA.
I believe the Americans have opposed a free healthcare system like ours and criticised our NHS. However, if you are rich you can STILL have private insurance if you want it. So it seems selfish that people who can use the hospitals oppose healthcare for people who cant.
This film shows a man who had to choose which finger to have sewn back on as he couldnt afford to have both sewn back on!!! Its terrible. People are seen being kicked out of hospitals when the hospital thinks they wont get paid!! Often kicked out still in hospital gowns and ill.
I wouldnt want to live in USA after seeing this. They wouldnt cover me anyway as i have one of 500 illnesses they list to deny cover.
He comes to UK and looks at our NHS and goes to France to look at theirs too.
Brilliant expose.

Michael Moore always seems to stir up hatred amongst some people. The common complaint always seems to be that his facts are off. I can only guess that the people that make these accusations have either a) done their own research on the subject or b) are some of the people that Moore is trying to 'take down'. Who cares if he seems to put his own views into his work? The fact of the matter is surely this, he is standing up for the little man. He is sticking it to the establishment who think they can control people like puppets because they have money and power. Is that not a good thing? Maybe some people just prefer to be controlled? Bowling For Columbine saw him taking on the ridiculous use of fire arms in the US. Is that a BAD thing? Fahrenheit 911 saw him taking on the appalingly run and hypocritical US government. Is that a BAD thing? Sicko takes a swipe at the totally unfair American health system. Is THAT BAD? His views may not be to everyone's taste but surely everyone needs some one to take a stand at the injustices of this world? Someone who is not afraid of taking on these people who treat people like dirt just to swell their own pockets. Come one people!

How did all other industrialized countries come to have much better and much more inexpensive health care than the US? Watch this movie to find out how we're all being cheated and manipulated by big pharma. Demand FREE health care! Michael Moore shows why health care needs a public option.

Eye opening!
This documentary/film makes you realise how lucky we are to have an NHS in Britain. It also makes you realise how absolutely crucial Obama's Affordable Care Act was and is. Read more

You wouldn't want to be ill in America
Even the poorest person in the UK has a higher life expectancy than the richest in the USA.

TERRIFYING YET TRUE
One of Moore's BEST EVER documentaries. Really scary and outrageous and depressing--yet ALL true to life in USA. And to think THEY sneer at Europe's 'Commie' Medicine!! Read more

The public do not know the half of what goes on. This applies the world over. Politicians are a corrupt lot.

Another heartbreaking...
Another heartbreaking documentary of Michael Moore about the truth of what happens in USA. Medical staff give their testimony of how the system works. Recommended!
