Review of Sicko (2007) by Iamhea. — 04 Jul 2007
Starting from the U.S. healthcare debacle, Moore artfully expands his focus to reveal other issues that raise profound questions about who we are as a people. These include the domination of our democratic institutions by totalitarian corporations, our resulting sense of powerlessness, and the use of indebtedness and economic insecurity to dampen political activism in the interests of social control.
After showing positive examples of other governments that take good care of their people, he asks us to consider whether our focus on individual rather than collective well-being is really as positive as we seem to believe.
