Re: Sicko...

I'm not a huge fan of Moore's story telling style. Like polishmafia said, he does tug heartstrings to make his points. It's legitimate as creative license, but it bugs me. That doesn't undermine the over-all point that healthcare in this country is way off track. Some are way over insured, some are uninsured. And EVERYONE pays way too much.

Re: Sicko...

Of course he dramatizes the situation, for a lot of this country, that is the only thing that will actually sink in to their thick skulls. For the others, it at least gets the point across, no matter if you like his style or not.

I took my dad with me to see this movie(I've never gone to a movie with my dad before btw. :P ), because he is a MD who has practiced in this country for over 40 years. He said "I lived that for over 40 years". Meaning it is pretty much right on(relatively of course). He said the health care system was decent when he started practicing, but has consistently gotten worse till today.
