Sicko

An unflattering look

Michael Moore takes on the health insurance industry in his latest documentary, and he packs a strong emotional punch. Much of the documentary details people who have health insurance but are burdened by high premiums, claim denials, and a system that's out to make money rather than help people. This is done in true Michael Moore fashion, which draws some complaints, but since he's writing, directing, and producing the damn thing, it seems only fair he gets to make what he wants. The scene in the final half hour where he loads people up in a boat and sets sail for Guantanomo Bay (the place on U.S. soil that has universal health care) is probably one of my favorites from the past year.
