The film begins to show us the layers of shady under the American medical system, from the despair of those without medical insurance to the dilemma faced by those who already have medical insurance. Then, the director came to Canada, the United Kingdom and France. Here we see an unimaginably complete medical security system, which is a heaven and a hell compared to the previous two.
This documentary criticizes the pharmaceutical and insurance industries in the United States, as well as the indifference and cover-up of generations of government officials. Nevertheless, the film has passed the censorship in the United States and can be released.
It is said that the two countries with the highest taxes in the world are France and China. After reading "Medical Insider", I know that French taxpayers are enjoying the social benefits they deserve, and if this subject is filmed in China, it will be What kind of situation?
Whenever I watch these foreign documentaries, such as this year's Oscar-nominated "Food Company," I can't help but think of ourselves, and the conclusion is -- shudder.

Sicko quotes

  • Michael Moore: I'm wondering why you expect your fellow Canadians, who don't have your problem, why should they, through their tax dollars, have to pay for a problem you have.

    Canadian: Because we would do the same for them.

    Michael Moore: Yeah, but...

    Canadian: It's just the way it's always been, and so we hope it'll always be.

    Michael Moore: Right. But if you just had to pay for your problem, and don't pay for everybody else's problem - just take care of yourself.

    Canadian: Well, there are lots of people who aren't in a position to be able to do that. And somebody has to look out for them.

    Michael Moore: Are you a member of like the Socialist party here?

    Canadian: No, no.

    Michael Moore: Green party?

    Canadian: No. Well, actually I'm a member of the Conservative party. Is that bad?

    Michael Moore: Well, it's just a little confusing.

    Canadian: Well, it shouldn't be. I think that where medical matters are concerned, it wouldn't matter in Canada what party you were affiliated with.

  • Michael Moore: So there was actually one place on American soil that had free, universal healthcare.

    Michael Moore: That's all I needed to know. I went down to Miami, Florida, Got myself a boat, and loaded up Bill, and Reggie, and John, and anyone else I could find who needed o see a doctor, and couldn't afford one. So many people showed up, I had to get a few extra boats. And I called up Donna Smith from Denver, who was now on 9 different medications, and asked her if she'd like to come along. I figured she'd like to get out of her daughter's basement for a while.
