Has anyone seen Sicko yet? What did you think of it?

I think he sometimes uses people's emotional reactions in a way that's a little exploitive, and I certainly don't watch Michael Moore's works for their entertainment value, but drawing attention to something that's broken in our system of government--especially something that affects every single one of us like healthcare--is a very necessary and important thing. _________________

I'm sure Moore was criticizing CNN in general there, bit off topic for Sicko but sure stirred up controversy! _________________

Michael Moore has been right in both of his two major documentaries, Fahrenheit 9/11 and Sicko. He takes it to an extreme, but he showed Bush for who he was before most others did, and he also brought the topic of health care to mainstream debate.
Our Health System is in need of major refinement. Drug companies have infiltrated several levels of service, from the United States Congress to the family doctor. _________________

Sometimes crap needs to be stirred, if there is ever to be any change. _________________

I dont think there was any illusion about the Bush family ties to Saudis, etc long before Fahrenheit 9/11. Moore does documentaries that dont get seen by many people, so he has to go on shows start fight and create press so a few more people will go see it. _________________
