Sicko

Michael Moore's film about American Health Care is being reviewed: (my bold)
It's both a more finely calibrated film and one with more far-reaching consequences than any he's made before. Moore is trying to rouse Americans to action on an issue most of us agree about, at least superficially. You may know people who will still defend the Iraq war (although they're less and less eager to talk about it). But who do you know who will defend the current method of healthcare delivery, administered by insurance companies whose central task is to minimize cost and maximize shareholder return? Americans of many different political stripes would probably share Moore's conclusions at the press conference: "It's wrong and it's immoral. We have to take the profit motive out of healthcare. It's as simple as that."
"We have to take the profit motive out of healthcare. It's as simple as that." Thank you, Michael. We have seen this horror up close and personal and it is choking the system to death.

May your movie rally the voters of this country to action!
