Sicko  — 

 

 I cannot possibly know how Michael Moore actually managed to get awards from this obvious one sided, politically skewed, fabrication of a "documentary".

       Of course our medical insurance problem is an obvious concern for most Americans but this man actually tries to convince his audience that CUBA has a better health care system than in the United States of America! All one has to do is read up on the corrupt Cuban government to realize what a fallacy Michael Moore's so called "facts" really are. He even goes on to make Canada and France seem like a heaven on earth when it comes to health care. Again if one would actually read the facts one can easily realize how such a large portion of Canadians and French pay in the form of Taxes goes directly to their universal health care. Michael Moore attempts to trick the viewer into thinking these countries provide FREE healthcare to all their citizens. One thing is for sure. NOTHING is FREE. These people get put on waiting lists that would make Americans cringe at for life saving surgeries thanks to the back log and guarantee to see everyone. This man actually thinks he can tell us a bold face lie to scare us into accepting what clearly is a flawed and very wasteful plan.  I dare ANYONE to prove that there is not at least one "fact" in ANY of his films that is a blatant falsehood or that is construed in a way to get his point across to the general public. This man is a disgrace to those who would consider themselves documentarians. No one has to take my word for it, all one has to do is a quick online research on any of his claims.

I didn't see it, but bet he also didn't mention that many canadians come to the US for surgery b/c that way they don't have to wait for months. I have friends who live in Canada but work in the US and they use the US insurance through their work b/c it is better.
