I watched this movie considering Professor Stevens' suggestions.
I appreciate Moore's work, which makes it very easy for me to love his material and believe EVERYTHING that he presents. Consequently, I had a challenge, when watching Sicko and that was to be critical of Moore's work.
This is what I came up with:
Moore attempts to summarize the problems with the American health system. How does he present these problems? the documentary provides real-life health care inequalities within the US through various cases and compares each case to the health care management of Cuba, France, and Britain.
As a result, the documentary is very basic and does not provide strong evidence. It isn't appropriate to look at each case and see how it would be manipulated by a free medical care system. In presenting our faulty healthcare system, Moore should have removed his bias for universal health care and provide additional methods to change in the health care access within our already existing system.
On another note, Sicko educated the general public on American medical services and its lack of sensitivity and value for money over public/individual health.
