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.
There is a perfectly good reason for pulling people into that situation by telling peoples expirences, So that the viewer can do his/her own research and figure out what is actually going on.
Its like he said in the movie, He posted a comment on his website to email him your medical stories, and in a matter of a week he had over 30,000 emails.
Its not propaganda if what he says is true. He interviews the people that have actually Denied peoples coverage, from the inside. Also if you go on his website (www.michaelmoore.com) and click on sicko, then click on Facts, he has the references that actually backup his documentary.
