Sicko User Reviews

This movie should be shown in every school in the country. Michael Moore is my hero. Truth must come out so that we can cured ourselves for the intolerable health care system

I did not see your new movie yet but I love all your other ones. I live in South Carolina and they are not showing it down here yet but I will be first in line when it does. I've worked in the healthcare industry all my life and finally someone is sticking up for the patients! Can't waint to see SICKO!

Contrary to how this movie is being marketed, this is NOT a documentary! It is a typical Michael Moore spoof with a few facts, a lot of hype, but little substance in the end. Are there inequities in the system? Yes, but compared to what, Cuba and some other socialist eden?! Michael Moore is up to his old tricks and that is make a fast buck from people too ignorant to understand the broader picture. What is next, Illegal Immigration-o? To take this man seriously is to insure that important issues remain misunderstood and the people frustrated while Michael Moore goes to the banko!

I have always thought that the term "DOCUMENTARY" was very loosely applied to Moore's films. I still believe that is true. HOWEVER.... Only a fool would deny that our healthcare system is in bad shape. He has REAL doctors and insurance claims adjusters telling how they basically make life and death decisions based on preserving insurance companies' profits. The healthcare giants would like you to think that these are rare, exceptional cases. Only problem with that is..YOU AND I KNOW BETTER !! That is what makes this movie different. The healthcare nightmare is something WE ALL LIVE WITH. We don't really need Michael Moore to tell us about it. We have experienced these things FIRST HAND. This is NOT a Liberal or Conservative Issue... IT is a PEOPLE ISSUE. 100% of us will need healthcare at some point. Lets get together on this, and get that money out of the pockets of Healthcare CEO's and Pharmacy Lobbyists and back into actual patient care. After all, isn't that what we are paying for ???

The state of our Health Services is for the elite. That's what it has evolved into - one expensive mess.Hopefully, this movie at least sparks some meaningful debate.I liked the movie! There were no surprises for me. Yes, as a union member I have health insurance but they are also out for a profit - I'm like many and have a horror story while being completely insured.National Insurance Program should be brought into play here in good ole USA.

Moore could not do a better job giving a side-by-side comparison of the disgustingly profitable American healthcare system with other country's. Its one more reason to stand up for change in this country. It makes me want to stop begging for money from HMOs and start making them afraid of extinction. I admit I didn't know the appeal of universal healthcare and the horrific free market gouging that we Americans have to put up with. Shame on us for not demanding this sooner.

I didn't expect flying colors from the critics because this isn't one of those "deep" movies. It's their job to view the films in a different light. I think it was appropriate for Bay to produce this movie. Optimus Prime sounding like the old Optimus Prime was great. However, I was expecting Starscream to have his high-pitched, raspy voice. Jazz was great too, but Bumblebee got most of the attention. I enjoyed it a lot and it's a must see. Definitely up there with Knocked Up and Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and also Live Free or Die Hard.
