SICKO is the new movie from Michael Moore. He was born in "Flint MI" (so was I), Lived in "Flint MI" (so did I), and makes movies about political things he see's happening... World wide, but he does concentrate alot on the Flint/Detroit area. Where I live and work.

To me he is like a "Hero". He is one person that "tells it like it is", and backs up with proof. If you ever wanna know how I live (my area). this movie will show alot.

The movie is about the "American Healthcare" system. Right now, 46.6 million of us have no healthcare. You Canadian babes, French babes, and other UK peeps got it easy. Go to a doc.. go out FREE. US,, the un-insured (or) under insured Americans are screwed. We don't get chit. A day trip to a hospital can cost thousands (if not 10's of thousands.. and we never recover from the costs). Personally.. I am about 80K in debt, and much of it was healthcare.

Yes, we are the "richest" country in the world. Yes the richest people in this country control the "politics", the media.. like everything. That pretty much means.. the REST work to survive.. and have hardly a say..

Here in this country.. the Average McDonalds worker would have to work 2 other jobs to support a family (in a cheap ass apartment). If he got sick.. well that would suck. Although some of these corporations "pretend" they help employee's with healthcare.. they really don't. What person struggling with minimum wage can afford a 2 or $3000 deductable?

The RICH get richer in America. The poor get poorer. The poor pay taxes, like the rich.. the poor are stabbed. A poor man.. will lose his home if not insured in this country.. for a simple surgery. If they can "take it" they will..

The " working poor" pay higher insurance rates, higher interest rates.. higher everything really.

Watch the movie "SICKO- Michael Moore". If you can't find it online, I'll give my screename and password. Should be required viewing. It's one movie that really tells it like it is!

Take care, Gary
