 WASHINGTON (AP) - In many respects, Michael Moore's new movie, "Sicko," is like a trial for those who oversee health care in the United States. The industry — doctors, drug makers, hospitals, insurers — is charged with greed and putting personal interests above patients'. Moore heard from thousands of people who had maddening and heartbreaking brushes with this system.
As chief prosecutor, Moore lets them do most of the talking and weaves their stories into the film with wit, compassion and humor.
But one aspect missing from the film is the defense. Do not expect to hear anyone speak well of the care they received in the U.S. On the other hand, patients and doctors from Canada, Britain, France and Cuba marvel at their health care.
