    Masterpiece

    Oh my. Sicko is a masterpiece. You walk out the theater embarrassed at our system. I don't understand peoples reluctance to except the fact that the money we spend on health insurance could be better used for a better quality of life. Of course no system is perfect but the system we have in America is designed for profit and the way they make profit is to limit your access to it any way they can. Yes we are a big country and yes we will pay for it with our taxes so what? England, France etcy mange to do it. And what difference does it make how large a country is? More people means more money into the system. See this film, its the most amazing piece of filmmaking I have seen in a long while. The film is so much more than about health care its about a system that has forgotten its purpose. Stephanie needs to go away and Salon needs a new film reviewer. Thanks Michael.
