Re: Sicko...

oh christ... another ones whos fallen for moore's propoganda.

ill first start by saying that SOME of what he says and shows in the movie is correct. america's health care system is not what it should be.

my biggest problem with this movie (and all his movies) is how he pulls on peoples heartstrings to get them to follow along. they are always short, quick examples made to pull you in.

main example is the woman who got into a car wreck and needed an ambulance ride to the hospital. she got the claim and it was denied because the ambulance ride was not pre-authorized. of course it wouldnt have been pre-authorized as she was in a car wreck.

you know what it would have taken to get that resolved? a 5 minute phone call. it was a simple claim processing mistake. the ambulance ride was most likely submitted as a non-emergency ride to the hospital. she could have made ONE phone call, and it would be a non-issue. but moore finds this woman and exploits a claim processing error.


do you remember how this situation was resolved in the movie?


and that whole cuba bullshit. ill just say this... ive never seen a group of more attractive, smiling, happier to help doctors and nurses in my life. the whole staff of the hosiptal looked like the telemundo version of a soap opera. anyone could see that the entire situation was fucking setup.
