Default Sicko.

I watched Sicko last night. It's not an objective documentary, but it's interesting enough.

The problem with Michael Moore is that his documentaries have an agenda, which makes them rather dishonest documentaries, in my opinion.

However, I'm really glad I watched Sicko, and I highly recommend to to everyone. Moore raises plenty of valid points, and there is plenty of good food for thought. He is generally positive about physicians, and very negative about politicians, insurance companies, and big pharma.

Another interesting point is that Moore focuses almost exclusively on patients who have insurance. He then compares and contrasts insured Americans' experiences with those of people in Canada, England, and France.

One of the more striking parts of the film is when he walks into a random Havana pharmacy, and medications that cost 120 dollars in America are being sold for 5 cents.
