Absolutely fantastic, scathy critique of the American health-care system!... Even the ironic comedy is well appreciated... Michael Moore proves over and over that he is an absolute genius when it comes to exposing various evil entities…

I like Michael Moore and his movies, but today's events in France show that there's a price to pay for free healthcare. Riots in Paris this week are about high taxes. Watching "Sicko" made me wonder how France paid for the free…

Another pseudo-documentary by Moore... one-sided, bends the facts, and not worthy of C- in a high school A-V class.

Another excellent documentary by Moore to target the inadequacy and unfairness of the American health system. I am sure some examples were probably presented in a slightly biased fashion to enhance the dramatic effect. Still, the message…

This is a 2007 documentary directed by Michael Moore. The film investigates health care in the United States, focusing on its health insurance and the pharmaceutical industry. The movie compares the for-profit, non-universal U.S. system…

I'm a longtime Michael Moore fan, and some of his movies are better than others. But I think this is his best one yet.

My uncle (my mom's best friend's husband) is in this movie! I had to give it five stars! Also, everyone should know about this subject. This documentary was truly educational for me.

That's it. As soon as I finish my bachelor's in the US I'm transfering to a canadian university for my master's and moving there. America is screwed.

I really liked "Sicko". Yes, it has Moore's usual flamboyant arguments, but who's going to watch a movie laced with statistics & charts? However, here are a few which are relevant: Fact (source: US 2012 Federal Budget): Amount budgeted for…

THIS FILM SHOULD BE MANDATORY. WE PAY TWICE AS MUCH FOR OUR HEALTH CARE THAN CANADA AND EUROPE AND THEY LIVE LONGER. WHAT A COUNTRY.

Before I begin my tirade, I feel the need to say here that I do not consider myself a republican or a conservative. Now, on with the review... Look, if you are a bleeding-heart Michael Moore fan, you will love Sicko. If you are a…

Excellent. Eye-opening. We ain't treating our heroes right.

I couldn't believe how mistreated the 9/11 rescue workers were. I hope the new Bill that President Obama helped to bring out would change some of the public health policies.

This movie should be watched by anyone who supports private medical services. This film was extremely frightening and ensures that I will NEVER live in the USA. The heroes of 911 were treated terribly.

This documentary really helps you not take our health care system for granted. It is stuning how much the quality and cost of health care around the world, even in first- world- countries. well- done and very informative.

I waited a long time to get this movie and it was well worth it and it makes you really appreciate our Canadian healthcare system.
