I was a bit surprised at first how some have reacted so negatively to Moore, especially for his previous docu, and while the political flavor of this film is not as 'explosive' as in his other films, I think the message is loud and clear. When that Doctor from CNN decided to take on Moore about this movie and made a big fuzz about statistics, the filmmaker decided he need to be on the offensive and I admired him for that. Even CNN, as Moore reported in his website, has come out with an apology for the apparent errors/assumptions by this CNN guest host. I forgot his name, but he's quite popular in the network and perhaps he assumed he can remain popular, but he failed to verify his sources. I have watched almost all of Moore's movies and while my favorite remains Roger and Me, this one has become a favorite too! - jedmed Sun, 25 Nov 2007 10:47:22 +0100 http://themovie-fanatic.com/film_reviews/current/sicko/#comment-200 Thanks Jeremy for the great review! I have not seen this yet, but I especially enjoyed to hear your own personal insight and views on our Canadian healthcare system! I can say that I've had personal experience with both healthcare systems there in the US, and Canada. As you've stated, both of our healthcare systems are flawed indeed. In Canada, rural areas especially suffer, with shortage of doctors, long waiting lists for tests, etc., etc. I agree with your Canadian friend, US hospitals and doctors are better, and in alot of ways have better care. I too would choose US hospitals and doctors to get the best care! Our medicare covered my costs, because it could only be done in the US. It is a real travesty that your great US healthcare isen't covered by your government. Especially for the minorities who are in much more need of healthcare in the US, and those on fixed incomes like seniors, the disabled, those with mental illness, etc., just to name a few. Lets just hope for our sake, and the sake of our loved ones, that there will be some sort of change for the better! After all, we all don't have the luxury of having a government salary to pay for OUR healthcare! :P - Jan Sat, 24 Nov 2007 22:31:29 +0100
