SICKO

There were definitely parts of the film that were difficult to watch. It was sad and frustrating to see people lose everything to our costly health care system. Michael Moore did a great job of publicizing the lack of quality access to health care and making the personal stories relatable to the whole of America. Although our system most definitely needs a reform, I think that expressing the UK/French/Canadian health care systems as the answer to all problems is a little false advertising on Moores part. For example, my relatives in the UK say that there is practically no preventive care in NHS, which is something that we really try to emphasize here in the US. I wish the film would have showed universal health care in a more honest light with the good and the bad, not just the perfect picture that Moore showed.
