"Sicko" Draws Attention To Problems With The US Health-Care System
Michael Moore's "Sicko" Opens
Michael Moore's movie "Sicko" opened Friday June 29th at movie theaters around the US. The movie focuses on the problems in the US health-care system. It shows other countries that do not have these same problems since their health systems are not based around the profit motives of insurance companies, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies.
