This is so rude! Health can't be privatised I think. Making money on people's sickness is amazing. And of course, the poorest have no access to the health care protection. Actually, I have a question : What is medicare ? Is it free? I also want to say that The french systm is not FREE. Taxes are high, and It has a huge deficit. But, still, it works amazingly well. And you're not scared to have a health problem. Everything is entirely covered. As a non US citizen, I was kinda surprised to see how your health care system work. This is so rude!

The point here is: " The health System is broken". I don't really care about the movie. I care about the $342.29 I have to pay every 20 days for my pills. Is not fair, I'm a good person, I work hard all my life and now I have to live like this. Not FAIR!!! Don’t you see people. The point here is: ” The health System is broken”.

Michael Moore hit it right on the head with "Sicko". This is pure"GREED" not medicine for profit but "GREED" Our new president should make universal Healthcare a first priority.

I haven't yet seen Sicko, but I'm sure that the points Michael Moore make must have been issues he felt were extremely important for him to have taken the risks of acting in a way that he knew from the start would displease some very powerful forces in the US.

This guy is calling Moore a criminal and soulless exploiter because he took AMERICAN FIREFIGHTERS to CUBA without permission. Well, CUBA was the only place these men could get help. Their own country would not help their 'heroes'. Michael Moore did this to illustrate his point. Like many Americans Moore DOES NOT support the war. that in no way should entail that h doesn't support the troops. I hate this war. I think it's the Vietnam of our time. My best friend is over there. On his third tour. Do you know what happens to the casualty numbers for those on multiple tours? They skyrocket. I support him and love him and yes, pray for him. That does not mean I want us to WIN so he can come home. There is no winning. I JUST WANT HIM TO COME HOME! I didn't think Farenheit 9/11 was as inspired or realistic as Bowling For Columbine. But I do believe Michael Moore, like Ann Coulter is one of the major political voices of our time.

Only thing I can see from those documents is that someone is mad their image in a movie that Moore produced. Look, we have much bigger problems than bickering about a movie. Wow, that sound silly when you say it out loud, doesn't it? Anyway, we have bigger issues such as health care, the state of our economy, the job situation (although some parts of the country are better than others in that), and the "war" (it's not a war, it's a occupation, and you can't win an occupation). You wasting your time following around everything a Celebrity reminds me of stuff we see in Elementary School. Grow up, if you want to make a real change, get involved with politics (like try running for local government and work your way up). Otherwise stop wasting my time and everyone else's @ “Dr.” Splinter
