I was very surprised at this movie, it is a very effective documentary of the various health care systems of the world. Many will say that Moore is at it again, but I think he has shown (again) what a remarkable filmmaker he really is. I wept during one scene, and I never weep (maybe get teary every once in a awhile...), it was devastating to see and hear these horrible incidences happening to regular, hardworking people. You can say what you will about Michael Moore (I don't agree with some of his positions personally), but his movie has done an excellent job of exposing our country's completely broken and corrupt system of health care, and hopefully the dialog surrounding this movie will move politicians to rethink their position on universal health care.

Saw it yesterday. Were funny, I was amused, thinking about buying it was I find it on the sale. Moore made the mockery of out America politics and made me feel pretty good here in Finland (with Universal Medicare of course :)). Kinda hard to rate it as a movie, still I think Moore did very well to find some sort of road that lead the movie forward, even included climax in the end. About the cause... it's pretty sad how things are in America when it comes to Healhcare. Like I have always said, I like the country but don't really care for their politics.

A lot of Americans remind me of ostrichs that stick there head in the sand once something critical or frightening is said. I am an Australian and at the end of the movie all I could was feel sorry for you, australia has a free universal medicare system, that give all people a right to medical care, and if you want more priority you can pay extra for private healthcare, which is also not as expensive as it subsidized by the government. Even if 1/10 of what moore says is true, Americans really need to start thinking that universal Medical Care is a right for all American swhether your rich or poor, with or without insurance, and that your fellow man is not just a number or a dollar value but they are living human beings with feelings. I hope for your sake the majority voters can give you guys a system that provides healthcare that your entitled too, all healthcare systems are not perfect but they gotta be a hellva lot better then what you have at the moment. The movie was good and made me think how lucky I am, although this the French are luckier, could us ea free once a week nanny. smile.

For the immigrants from the third world nation, we think that out of all the western countries, United States of America is the best country to live in. But after watching a couple of movies including Michael Moore's Sicko, I think that U.S.A is very similar to that of the Third world nations. For example, leaders are very much corrupt in Third world nations .. but after watching Sicko, I think that leaders are more corrupt in USA.. I think USA should switch to Universal Healthcare System ... and Mr. Moore if you are reading this .. plz bear in mind that we all are after you .. WE are there to support you .. Good Job!!

It is a good documentary. But I'm not going to react further on it, I'm going toe react on the people who gave it a 0 and on the people who think that the American health care system is very good for everyone. The American system is good for everyone who has enough money if you don't have enough money then it's you're problem, and I think that EVERYONE has the right on health care no matter how much money you earn. I live in the Netherlands (for stupid people Holland) and we have public health care and it is very good the Nethelands is number 17 on the list and America? America is number 37 on the list (http://www.photius.com/rankings/healthranks.html). So I think Moore is right something has to be done at you're health care system thingie.

If Moore had gone into details, opponents would yell that he got too distracted by minutiae, that it's going to be unworkable, too expensive, etc. I was so moved by this movie that I've set about to find reasons not to change my opposition to universal health care. Michael Moore is clearly a hero here, and he has class: Look at his $12,000 anonymous donation for health care for an anti-Moore webmaster whose wife needed an operation. I know that I would not have had that kind of class (and yes, I realize that by putting this in the film the donation was no longer anonymous, but it was at the time).

It was all right, wasn't the best documentary I've seen.
