Michael Moore does it again.
Whenever his new documentary comes out, my expectations are super high. Sicko easily meets them. It's compelling stuff
and, no doubt, a sad commentary about the United States of America.
Seeing the one-liner comments on the DVD cover, one said Sicko was "so funny." Apparently, these harebrained critics
think being denied basic healthcare only to end up dead to ensure profitability for these companies is funny. They also think
it's comedy when a baby died just because she was in the wrong hospital due to insurance coverage. I don't get these stupid
fucks.
Unfortunately, the trouble with Michael Moore's documentaries is 99% of the audience, which includes me, loves them
but will move on with their lives. In other words, nothing is being done. Why is that? I think it's because there are too many
electronic toys to keep people lazy from doing something about the issues unless it actually happens to them.
All in all, Sicko is a must-watch about how healthcare works.
