Academy Award«*-winning filmmaker Michael Moore (Fahrenheit 9/11) returns with this hilariously scathing indictment of America's failing health system. Combining powerful personal testimonies with shocking statistics, Moore pulls the curtain back on the greedy HMOs, drug companies and congressmen who keep us ill. Traveling to Canada, England, France and Cuba " where free universal health care is the norm " he forces the question: Why can't this happen in the U.S.? Timely and touching, "Sicko is the most broadly appealing of Mr. Moore's movies. It is also the funniest." (Michael Phillips, CHICAGO TRIBUNE)
