Moore saw this coming. When I initially saw it, I was outraged. This outrage has been renewed.
"Sicko" is a 2007 documentary film directed by Michael Moore that investigates the American health care system. The film focuses on the for-profit, non-universal healthcare system in the United States and compares it to the non-profit, universal healthcare systems of Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and Cuba.Moore highlights the struggles of Americans who are denied coverage by their insurance companies, often leading to financial ruin or even death. He interviews former insurance company employees who reveal how they were incentivized to deny claims to increase company profits. The documentary also explores the history of the American healthcare debate and the influence of the pharmaceutical and insurance industries on the political system.By contrasting the U.S. system with those of other countries, Moore argues for the need for universal health care in America, pointing out the inefficiencies and injustices of the current system.
