SiCKO

I just got back from seeing SiCKO, Michael Moore's new film (I hesitate to call it a documentary) that was mostly about the health insurance industry/universal health care, a little about corruption in the government, a little about Canada, a little about the war in Iraq and on terror, and with a cameo for Flint, Michigan. It was an interesting movie to watch, although I still felt it necessary to take it with a grain of salt. The part where he takes the first responders to Cuba and says that they got the same treatment as any Cuban national seems a bit stretched. It still challenged some of my assumptions about universal healthcare in Canada and England, and also made me want to look into whether Hillary Clinton is independent of the health care industry. Well worth watching, and on a subject that doesn't seem to have gotten much coverage since Hillary was the first lady.
