Review of Sicko (2007) by Kathleen B — 29 Oct 2015

Sadly, ACA (Obamacare) has not made the SICKO problems go away. Limiting care remains the source of profit in the industry. Creating havoc in people's lives is the daily job of insurance employees. Talk about moral hazards! When doctors attempt to prescribe non-addictive drugs, insurance companies tend to turn them down in favor of cheaper opioids. How much suffering starts in such insurance company decisions? It is time to ensure health care as a right and Medicare for All is the way that will happen.

Michael Moore struck such undeniable truth in this movie, that the industry went on a defamation binge. Wendell Potter, a former CIGNA exec admitted to the industry's smear campaign on television. That is a good preview for this film. SICKO should have been an academy award winner. It deserves being resurrected as a way of examining what has and has not changed since ACA. Economically, Medicare for All would solve huge numbers of problems. Elizabeth Warren is one of the experts in the movie. See what people-oriented leaders think and whom we should support. Get worked up. It could be you next!
