Sicko  — 

After watching Sicko I found myself wondering how people can swallow these statements of fiction as factual.  Does anybody wonder how they just sailed into Cuba with no questions, received such great care and were hailed by the fire fighters association?  I am wondering, in a country where the people can, just  now, "stay in hotels", what questions this new right might  bring up about the great health care they receive.  Also, interesting that the fire fighters just knew they were there.  Smelled of set-up to me.  Secondly, after just reading about the Canadian health care system in a Canadian magazine, I am wondering why they are not as positive and upbeat as the one American woman who crossed the border and received instant, wonderful care.  It seems residents have to be on a waiting list.  This mocumentary smacked of set-ups and deception aimed at making the U.S. look bad and the non-democratic countries look sweet.  I like my documentaries to share facts, not one man's fiction.

Moore is a bomb thrower with no regard for truth.
