Michael Moore’s Sicko Trailer
Thursday, May 24th, 2007
Love him or hate him, you have to admit that Michael Moore sure knows how to make a documentary. In Sicko, Moore takes on the American health care system, and of course, George W. Bush.

I totally agree with Moore.
Having nearly been killed by the British health system and spent several periods in filthy MRSA infested wards in British hospitals, the same hospitals which this dishonest oaf says are so frigging wonderful in his preposterous movie, I would like nothing more than to invite Moore to the UK so I can smash him in the face with my fist, thereby giving him the opportunity to experience the truth about our socialised healthcare system first hand. The man is a bare faced liar and anyone who swallows his crap is a half-wit.
The problem with the US health care cannot be solved with a socialized medical system. Creating yet another incredibly large government agency (perhaps it would be the largest) is not the solution. The solution would be simply to remove the health care industry executives from writing policies in DC which enable run away costs and profits in an industry which should be leaning more towards non-profit. If that problem were resolved we all could afford decent health care and continue the American way, which is different from every country in the world. Here, the government is supposed to stay out of your private life, unlike some of the countries Michael Moore visited in his film (sorry if my American pride and patriotic ideology is troubling to you). If Michael Moore wants an idea for his next documentary why doesn’t he tackle the biggest problem in the US: Media. If the citizens in the US were ever to get the straight story about all things important, we are more than capable of figuring out solutions on our own without the assistance of the government. So, Mike, with all due respect, why don’t you ask Bill Clinton why he signed the Telecommunications act in 1996 which paved the way for five corporations with multinational interests to monopolize the media and dictate what information Americans can and cannot learn about. After all, if Americans were more informed about the Medical Insurance and Pharmaceutical Industries take over of US domestic health care policy in the first place we would have been able to prevent such SICKO heartbreak from occurring. Your film’s heart is in the right place but the thinking is a bit skewed. America first!
