'Sicko': A Universal Nightmare Ericka Andersen
Waiting four months for an MRI, sitting for seemingly interminable hours in emergency rooms and having cancer surgery considered “elective” are a few of the risks those countries with universal healthcare take. If America listens to Democrats and Michael Moore, waiting lists, under-funding and less medical options are the future of American healthcare. I watched “Sicko” on the internet, where a bootleg copy was posted before the film’s release.
Moore’s new film, “Sicko,” released June 29, attacks the American healthcare system, trying to make a case that patients in communist Cuba get better care. The documentary targets viewer’s emotions with heart-wrenching stories of Americans without health insurance. The selective illustrations divide the film into chapters of misfortune -- ignoring details -- such as the higher taxes and doctor shortages that accompany the socialist model medicine Moore seems to love.
