In California, tell the Gov. to sign SB 840 (Kuehl) into law, which would provide REAL "universal care" to every Californian. Nationally, we need to get behind HR 676 (Conyers), our nation's cure to 'SiCKO'. The people of this great country must RISE UP and FIGHT for our RIGHT to GUARANTEED HEALTHCARE for EVERYONE, for life. No human left behind!

Hello CNA/NNOC team & viewers of this video, I have a request and as this moving story appears to be a good place to reach the people I'm looking for, I hope it's okay that I post here.

I'm an actor & theatre practitioner in London, currently working on a verbatim project on the AMERICAN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM and needing willing participants to share their views & experiences. Please click my Channel for more info. I'm looking forward to hearing from you, CNA/NNOC, or any page visitor. Thanks.

Anyone capable of formulating a thought, beyond those Michael Moore provides in the film, would realize the lack of credibility SICKO (& by association MM) possesses in distinguishing between different healthcare systems. In other words, "IT'S A BIG, FAT LIE" (no pun intended) and I would be highly reluctant to believe another word from Michael Moore's mouth!

Well, I saw SICKO this week. Michael Moore puts forth an intellectually dishonest argument throughout the entire film. In essence, his point appears to be: by demonstrating the negatives of the U.S. healthcare system and NOT demonstrating any negatives of any system he prefers, the other system (in conclusion) MUST be better.

...in the same way, using emotionally-charged anecdotes to 'demonstrate' how "evil" insurance companies are, which can just as easily be attributed to the unintended failings of humans (or a few "bad apples" in the bunch), is poor reasoning. I gave the example of my friend who died of cancer; bad things just happen.

Correct, I'm looking forward to seeing 'Sicko' but I have not seen it, yet. As an analogy, there is a reason prosecutors are limited in the physical size and quantity of gruesome crime scene photos they are allowed to show a jury. The photos can stir up so much ill will, anger and hateful emotion they can become inflammatory and prejudicial, thereby leaving a distraught jury unable to judge evidence reasonably.

Since you did NOT see sicko - 4 woman with health insurance developed cancer - one died from a brain tumor that her insurance company said was NOT life threating - another was DENIED a MRI but got on in JAPAN while on Vacation and got sick. The doctors in JApan said she had a brain tumor but Blue Shield of Califoria said she did not- i trust the doctors in Japan more than a insurance company
