Sicko

Posted by Karoli in Health, Video June 18th, 2007

I’m watching it on Google video right now. No matter what you think of Michael Moore, watch it. It doesn’t matter if you agree, disagree, or think Moore’s full of it. Watch it, and then let’s start debating it. It’s worth it.

(Hat tip: Kevin, MD)

Update: Now that I’ve finished watching it, I definitely have some thoughts. I didn’t come away ready to sound the trumpets for universal health care and have more than a few questions about some of the facts, but there were also some big takeaways for me that I’ll be writing on later this week. This statement stuck with me, though. It resonates.

“If you can find money to kill people, you can find money to help people.”

Update #2: It’s now been removed — my link doesn’t work anymore. Note to the producers: I plan to see this movie in the theater because I definitely want to see it again. Sharing it online actually makes me want to see it…and I don’t do movies. The last one I saw was “Little Women”. Figure it out.

    Oh, well, if you’re not convinced about the need for universal health care, ask a few Canadians - or a lot of Canadians - whether they would like to give up their universal system and adopt the American system.

    Stephen,

    I’d like to do exactly that. Some of the questions I have center around what the cost is tax-wise, how it’s administered, etc. I’m planning a blog post where I ask that very question.
