Sicko

This movie made me ill, as Michael Moore's films often do. It was very good. How in the world is it possible that we don't have universal health care in this country? It seems like an obvious thing. One of the things that this movie does not do as much as, say. Farenheit 9/11 is point fingers. It does levy some blame on congress people who got paid for by the drug companies, but I don't think it demonizes them quite as significantly as it could have. The climactic trip to Cuba was tearjerking, as were some of the DVD extras. This is a very good movie. I wish it had had more resonance among the people who make decisions.
