Sicko was definitely a well constructed documentary that had both entertainment and educational value, and I think for that it deserves a tremendous amount of credit. I think that Moore brings forth great examples of people who have experienced some really horrific episodes with the US Health Care System. To say that he makes the our health care system look bad would be like saying the economy is a bit rocky right now.

I was really looking forward for something negative about the Canadian Health Care System or the French Health Care System. I don't remember him mentioning anything about how much higher taxes are in France or in Canada. Certainly there has to be somebody somewhere in Canada or France unhappy with the quality of health care that they receive. I wish we could have heard something about them. It just seemed too one sided at times.

Nonetheless, I think the movie does raise an excellent issue of the disparities in our health care system; I think a lot of people, as a result of this movie, are a little more curious to learn more about our health care system. All in all a great documentary though.
