SiCKO
I just finished watching the movie and I wept.
I wept for Americans without health insurance. I wept for Americans with insurance but who have had claims rejected. I wept for Americans who understand the need for universal health care but can't convince their fellow Americans of it. I wept for Cubans who despite great challenges understand the value of pulling together as human beings to help one another, particularly when one of us is ill. But mostly I wept for Americans who "don't get it".
If you watch this movie and are unaffected...I'd rather not finish this sentence.
A thought came to mind shortly into the film...
Michael Moore is the Noam Chomsky of the lunch pail crowd.
By the way, the part about sending the cheque to his rival with the website dedicated to bashing Moore--what could be more poignant?
If you haven't seen it, I urge you to.
