Sicko

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.
