Sicko is a documentary film that tells how bad service from health insurance in America. This film tells how the American citizens who are sick and cannot claim their insurance policy. This film compared United States with other countries, such as Canada and India. In Canada healthcare is free. If we sick, we just go to the hospital and we will get free treatment. In India is also free for the health care, even the patient will get refund for their transportation cost. U.S health insurance companies were becoming a business that corrupt and taking away their client assets. They add lots of term and conditions to meet or to claim the polish. If they got sick, they will just drink medicine or they heal by themselves. I saw in the movie that health was very important for the people in Canada and India hospital, but not in U.S. hospital.

Sicko
SICKO is a documentary movie that shows how health care systems in United States compared to any other countries such as France, Canada, England. In my opinion, a health care systems in United States still have more powerless compared to Canada and England. In US, people can’t have an emergency handling if someone got a serious problem without in any advance. For instance, person who got their finger’s cut, the hospital will charge them in a high price such as 16.000 dollars per each. That is impossible for people who can’t pay for that. Then, Michael Moore came for solve this problem. He change all over the structural in health care systems, and even they got pay back for person who use public transportation to go for the hospital. That is a brilliant idea and solution in my opinion. Not only that kind of solution, but also he makes an own hospital for the old people using his own money by credit from the bank. In overall, Michael Moore is one of the heroes in healthy life for all person in United States. He just go beyond the problem for finding an excellent solution.

I am astonished and force me to smile grimly. It is amazing that it happens in such a big and rich country like the USA. The health care system is based on the higher the payment the better health care is provided. Those who cannot afford to pay health insurance can not have the service with ridiculous reasons while it is supposed to be the rights for all citizens. Therefore, it says that citizens who have no money, better not be sick as health care is for those who have money. Michael Moore shows the USA health care system is so deceptive and he points out that there are people who determines what sort of people deserve to have health service since the people of the insurance company are business oriented rather than helpful and considerate. He also compares the USA system with those in other countries such as Canada, the UK and France.
If this film is categorized as documentary, it would be appropriate if the director, Michael Moore presents the situation on both sides. However, he does not do it, so this film is a joke. Sicko is witty but also pitiful.
Sex For Sale
Hardship due to economic pressure has made people take any kinds of ways to earn money to survive. One of the ways is selling sex. Sex for money is called prostitution which has existed for a very long time and it cannot be vanished. Not only women who do it but also men which is called gigolo who provide services for both men and women. Wherever we are, in rich or poor countries, big cities or small cities, there is sex for sale. People who do this kind of activity are those lack of education, unskillful and lazy, they are not willing to do manual labour or to work hard, they just want to get easy money. They do know it is against moral/ethic and law and a;so the risks of doing such activity. They can be arrested or infected by diseases, but they have no choice. Both users and sellers are against moral and are vulnerable of diseases such as syphilis, herpes or even the deadly HIV. However, anyone can be contaminated by these diseases not only by prostitutes, but also by sex for free such as one night stand. You never can tell. Actually, I do not mind sex for sale as there are always demand and supply and as long as this activity does not disturb the society and do it safely. Besides, the society can only scorn them, but do not give the solution. As prostitution cannot be vanished, it would be better if the government legalize and localize it. So that the spread of diseases can be at least minimized by having them have regular medical check up and vocational training for their future when they are “retired”. In addition, it can create job opportunities such as selling food, laundry, room service and other services and also revenue for the government. Furthermore, there will not be any more illegal street hookers that can spread funeral diseases and disturb the society.
sex for sale
Prostitution are scattered throughout the world. This problem has made people arguing about the decision of this issue. Sex for sale is an expression where woman gave her body to people for money, in other words, woman agreed to have sex with someone, however she must be paid with a prices that she wished for. From this prostitution, woman can earn a large number of money and in a faster way. Demand of prostitutes will always exist. It’s about sex that we’re talking about, most women in this world loves to have sex with their boyfriend or husband, and it’s all not related to education problems in the terms of their relationship.

There so much difference between the service in US and Canada. in US , a treatment for the patient is really expensive. usually, Insurance company in US do not want to fund the patient if they had a serious health problem, they used to rejected the request from the patient. On the other hand, in Canada, every health activity is free. People in Canada do not have to worry about they health fee because the government will pay it for them. The government also pay back the transport money of the patient if they use the public transportation to go to hospital.

Sicko
Sicko is a documentary film about health insurance in some countries, especially in United States. Almost fifty million american people live without health insurance because of the cost is too expensive. Although they have it, it will not give any guarantee. A few people people in United State said that they were rejected by their health insurance with an obscure reason. Compared with UK and Canada, they are provide better services than US. Health insurance is free in both countries, they even provide transportation service without charging a fee. This film is a lesson for United state to improve their health division as one of developed country.
Sicko
The movie was directed and written by Michael Moore. This is a documentary film about American citizens who have rejection experience by insurance companies. Nearly 50 million U.S. residents live without life insurance. Every time they prayed for safety and nothing happens to them. Because the cost of health care in America is very expensive. Many of them have filed insurance but were rejected with unreasonable reasons. For example because of that people is too fat or too thin. For those American citizens who have the life insurance is no guarantee they will be free from health costs. Many of those who fell ill and had submitted a letter of medical costs to be replaced, rejected by insurance companies. The insurance companies in America, they only think to continue to add their company income. There's someone in the company are responsible for finding ways to reject the request reimbursement for the health of customers at departure. There is a recognition by a doctor who formerly worked at one of the insurance company in U.S, if they managed to make a rejection, then the company will give the doctor some extra money. Compared with the UK and Canada,the way they handle the health problems is very good.In England and Canada,all of the health cost is free. Surgery, maternity, hospitalization all free. Even the transportation fees to the hospital, will be replaced by the hospitals. This shows that the big and powerful country as the U.S. still has problems in the health sector.

SICKO (film summary)
This film is directed and written by Michael Moore. Sicko is a documentary film that retells stories about health insurance In America. Many people suffer because of this health insurance. In addition this film is about an interview, and collection of short movie about the victim of the health insurance. However, these films also give us a big picture about American system, and also make a comparison between another countries such as Canada and England. American is develop and strong countries, they give free education, but really expensive in health. In contrast Canada and England, they also give free education the different is Canada and England give free heath insurance to all people needed, even the transport to go to the hospital. I personally think that this film is really good, because from this we can know that how bad the health insurance system in American, how people survive, and how people disappointed about the service.
