SiCKO Trailer

If you want to stay healthy in America, don't get sick.

Following on the heels of his Palm d'Or winning 'Fahrenheit 9/11' and his Oscar winning film Bowling for Columbine, acclaimed filmmaker Michael Moore's new documentary sets out to investigate the American healthcare system. Sticking to his tried-and-true one-man approach, Moore sheds light on the complicated medical affairs of individuals and local communities.

This might hurt a little.

Some of you guys just don't get it. The american system is better for you - if you are richer than a certain level. But if you' re below that, you're doomed. All the OECD countries have universal health care, except for the U.S..

You are spending more money than anyone else on health care. Yet you fail to archive the level of general ('general' means everyone, not just the wealthy citizens) health of the other western countries.

p.s.: Slovenia is a nice little country

"I work 3 jobs".................."Fantas­tic, uniquely American...............It shows how detached our politicians are! The lady wasn't bragging George!

@kentirir but that's just it! It's not free you for it through taxes and then it's the taxpayers problem because anyone who pays taxes is in the paying for anyone who does not pay taxes and as every other country knows many Americans are lazy and won't pay taxes.

No wonder Euros love Michael Moore - he tells you what you want to hear and he embodies your vision of fat Americans - those chubby jowls jiggling with every word, the labored breathing of overburdened lungs, the rolls of congealed fat undulating in a sickeningly hypnotic fashion.

Maybe Mr Moore should've gotten liposuction in Cuba and donated the excess blubber to eradicating world hunger. Or to make soap.

For the record - Sicko's working title was Fatso - No Fridge Too Far

If you americans wish to be a world superpower, you need to step up and get in line with all the other western nations. Free healthcare and a new more socialistic government. You shold learn more from the scandinavians!

i like Slovenia, America not so much.

[pancakemaster5]

the only middle/lower class Americans that support their current health care system and believe it's the best are the one's who have never been to an American hospital and have never dealt with HMO's.

@JohnLennon100 If they had no money to pay for operations they wouldn't have money to pay off debts which instantly means they wouldn't even be able to get the credit as they would be marked by same capitalistic bullshit banks as not reliable and not being able to bring money back to them.

@doncocorote1 Unbeliavable. My mother's cousin had similar injury few years ago with similar operation on his knee plus lower part of the leg, and price was 0. From Croatia, next to Slovenia :).

I dont know how horribad it is for people in the USA.

but Moore's representation of EU healthcare systems is

pretty accurate.
