Sicko Reviews

Now, before I even begin reviewing this I have to say a few things. Before watching this movie, I had the utmost hatred for Michael Moore. I'd slandered him many, many times while friends were praising him. After watching this movie, I still hate him but I look at him in a new light. Kind of.

Plot: A documentary on the highly profitable American health care industry, comparing it with other nations to see some of the major differences. Also he interviews people who've have some terrible HMO horror stories.

Re: "SICKO"

I'm a 32 year old retail worker.  I've been employed since I could start working at 15.  Through the years, I've worked my butt off, chasing that "more than minimum" dream.  When college is too expensive for a lower income family to afford, and you don't think paying off thousands of dollars worth of loans sounds that appealing, what's there to do, but the best you CAN do?

For me, that's struggling through a lifetime of mind-numbing, laborious low-wage jobs, hoping to finally be noticed and appreciated someday.
