Michael Moore's "Sicko"
I know there aren't that many fans of Michael Moore's work (especially after Fahrenheit 9/11), but I recently gave his movie Sicko a shot.

Sicko is about the Health Care industry, and it's quite eye-opening. Of course, to make for good TV, he does exaggerate and distort the health care quality of Guantanamo Bay and Cuba, but his claims are otherwise intriguing.

He talks about health care in Canada and Europe, their public system, etc. He glorifies it and makes you realize it can be done. I think a lot of people down here associate "public health care" with "Earl K. Long," which is probably not a fair comparison.

Anyway, while Michael Moore can be an inflammatory, pompous ass, he's also got a few good points. Has anyone else seen it?
