SiCKO

Make sure you go see SiCKO. Michael Moore's new film opens this Friday, June 29th.





Here's a review from Crooks and Liars.com....

We open on the carpenter who must choose between replacing two severed
fingers: A middle finger for $60,000 or his ring finger for $12,000. Being
financially strapped with no health insurance and as Moore points out “a
romantic,” the patient ops for the discounted ring finger to be replaced.We
learn of the girl, unconscious in a car wreck, who was denied reimbursement
benefits because she didn’t call to request permission for an ambulance, as her
HMO requires.We see a young man casually stitching up a huge gash in his own leg
with thread to avoid another enormous medical bill.But this is not just a film
of individual horror stories.Moore does not focus on the fifty million Americans
who do not have any health insurance.Instead he focuses on the millions who
do.
