DVD Reviews of Sicko (Special Edition)
DVD Review: More Americans need to see this movie
Summary: 5 Stars
To everyone in this Country. I am an old man that has seen radical changes for the worst in the US. This movie brings about many of the problems we faced and are still facing. Make sure you buy and see it. Also, share it with your neighbors. It is up to you and me to make changes now. Otherwise, GREED will continue to take over.
I will simply sign it as a Concerned US Citizen.
DVD Review: American Corporate greed
Summary: 5 Stars
I was working in the medical care field when highly paid administrators and insurance Co.s "took over" helth care in America.
So many buy into the garbage put out by the special interests on this issue. America is a laughing stock to the industrialized world. Greed cannot be the only motivation for a country to exist.
DVD Review: Excellent Documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
This film was eye opening. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone!!! We all need to become more aware of our flawed health care system and what health insurance and pharmaceutical companies are capable of. This is the only way we can make more informed choices and create CHANGE.DVD Review: Sicko DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
Valiant effort to show our healthcare system in all its dysfunctional glory. And compares it to the Canadian, British, French, and Cuban systems. Good to watch and understand. Production values are not great but the film gets its message across pretty well. I think it is a "must see". DVD Review: Sicko
Summary: 5 Stars
This "documentary" discussed the other side of heath care, in the United States, in a way that we all know exists but have chosen to ignore. While it is fairly one-sided, by giving all the pros and not many cons to socialized medicine, Moore does exactly what he intended to do (I think). Made me think.
Description of Sicko (Special Edition)
Following on the heels of his Palm d'Or winning Fahrenheit 9/11 and his Oscar winning film Bowling for Columbine, acclaimed filmmaker Michael Moore's new documentary sets out to investigate the American healthcare system. Sticking to his tried-and-true one-man approach, Moore sheds light on the complicated medical affairs of individuals and local communities.SiCKO is more like a controlled howl of protest than a documentary. Toning down the rhetoric of past efforts--no CEOs, congressmen, or celebrities were accosted in the making of this film--Michael Moore's latest provocation is just as heartfelt, if not more heartbreaking. As he clarifies from the outset, his subject isn't the 45 million Americans without insurance, but those whose coverage has failed to meet their needs. He starts by speaking with patients who've been denied life-saving procedures, like chemotherapy, for the most spurious of reasons. Then he travels to Canada, England, and France to see if socialized medicine is as inefficient as U.S. politicians like to claim--especially those who receive funding from pharmaceutical companies. Moore finds quality care available to all, regardless as to income. He concludes with a stunt that made headlines when he assembles a group of 9/11 rescue workers suffering from a variety of afflictions. When Moore is informed that detainees at Guant?namo Bay--technically American soil--qualify for universal coverage, he and his companions travel to Cuba to get in on that action. It's a typically grandstanding move on Moore's part. And it proves remarkably effective when these altruistic individuals, who've either been denied treatment or forced to pay outrageous costs for their medication, experience a dramatically different system. Nine years in the making, SiCKO makes a persuasive case that it's time for America to catch up with the rest of the world. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
