Sicko

I went and saw Sicko. A friend asked me if it was good. I wasn't sure how to respond to that. I mean if I'd found it entertaining then, yes, I would certainly say it was 'good'. But I wouldn't call it that. In fact I really found it disturbing. Even the parts meant for comic relief I had a hard time laughing at.

It was a great hit piece. It really showed our system for what it is and pointed out the problems. It is truly disgusting. Even the people helping to implement the system are disgusted by it. Those that have a conscience that is.

It seems that we've been had. The drumbeat about how our medical system is so much more superior to 'Socialized Medicine' is the propaganda machine of the insurance and pharmaceutical companies. Michael Moore did a good job of pulling it together. Go see it and let everyone know what you think.

Is it time for the revolution yet? Oh, that's right, we can't because we aren't able to get the time off of work.
