Synopsis

f you want to stay healthy in America, don't get sick. Following on the heels of his controversial, award-winning features Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine, director Michael Moore sets out to investigate the American health care system, and the 45 million Americans who have no health care despite living in the richest country on earth. Sticking to his tried-and-true one-man approach, Moore sheds light on the complicated medical affairs of individuals and local communities alike—and is every bit as illuminating as in his previous films.

Reviews

"SiCKO will scare people, and it probably should."

   - Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

"Infuriating and funny, the film forges a disturbing diagram from the avarice and chaos of a slapdash, heartless system."

   - Michael Sragow, Baltimore Sun

"SiCKO is likely Moore's most important, most impressive, most provocative film, and it's different from his others in significant ways."

   - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

"Michael Moore intelligently, comically and incisively diagnoses and calls for the treatment of a sick U.S. health care system."

   - Kirk Honeycutt, The Hollywood Reporter

"Though we will differ on the methods of improving the American health care system, SiCKO's enduring contribution is the undeniable evidence that the system is broken. If the film brings the debate out into the open of our movie lobbies and living rooms, it can't be long before the conversation trickles into the corridors of Congress."

   - Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle
