scottjaco 0 #1 July 1, 2007 Just saw SiCKO, and I agree with the critics, it is definitely a great documentary. ***SPOILER*** DON’T READ ANY FURTHER UNLESS YOU’VE ALREADY SEEN THE MOVIE OR DON’T CARE They trashed Kaiser Permanente badly! It was well deserved. It blew my mind that Kaiser Permanente would send an old lady to the free clinic in downtown Los Angeles by Taxi (she walked aimlessly in a hospital gown on the streets until someone from the clinic saw her) No phone call, no paperwork, no escort, they didn’t even want the free clinic to know what hospital she came from, so they removed the hospital stickers from her wristbands. That is just cold. It’s like throwing away a piece of trash because they apparently weren’t covered. I would love to hear Kaiser’s explanation to this behavior. I really liked the ending as well. It had a nice twist when one of Moore’s archrivals can no longer afford to fund an anti-Moore website, because he needed to pay his wife’s medical bills. Moore gave him an anonymous donation to pay the bills and keep the website up. It kind of reminds me of that old phrase, “keep your friends close, and your enemies closer” Anyway, I would love to hear your thoughts about this movie.

GogglesnTeeth 6 #2 July 25, 2007 I enjoyed the movie, and it takes some guts to talk about some of the serious problems in our country and government. Our health care system is a joke.... We all know it! Now if something could be done about it.... Makes me want to move to England! Goggles and Teeth "You fall like a greased safe!!!"
