Sicko

currently instated in the United States. The debate itself is centered around how much power insurance and pharmaceutical companies should have. Many Americans believe that these companies are only focusing on making profit, not helping the sick, and thus more Americans today are pushing for centralized, government regulated healthcare. In Michael Moore’s documentary Sicko, the film clearly defines the major problems with America’s health system: the free-market system with prescription drugs, rising healthcare costs, and the many loopholes insurance companies can go through to deny Americans coverage. America is one of the only technologically advanced countries in the…

The way healthcare managers and executives are able to promote better delivery of healthcare within their organization is to stop thinking about the pay or bonuses that they are receiving. Throughout the SICKO film, workers in the healthcare system delineate that they need to deny people from insurance to get the “bonus” on their paycheck. By denying people insurance, it saves the company money. It is sickening to read and listen on how they set that as a rule. Why reject a patient from…

I never knew the other side of the insurance company until I watched Michael Moore’s movie, “Sicko.” I always believed that people who do not have insurance are the only ones have trouble getting medical care. When I watched this movie, and saw how some of the insured patients were denied of medical care, I was shocked. It is sad that money is valued more than people’s life in today’s day and age. On the other hand, when I saw the medical care in France, it is the total opposite. A government…

After watching the movie “Sicko” by Michael Moore and reading Understanding American Politics by Stephen Brooks I seem to be baffled about what a lot of foreigners are when referring to American politics and society. One being, our government and how hypocritical they are for instance, The Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement And Modernization Act passed in 2003, In “Sicko”, the legislation allowed drug companies the freedom to charge what they deemed fit. Looking at it from every angle…

While watching Sicko,I experienced a whirlwind of different emotions ranging from sadness, hate, fear, and finally determination and passion. This film gave me a new perspective on the American government and healthcare. Michael Moore was able to identify ways in which the healthcare industry is doing the opposite of what it is meant to be doing. The film also went on to show the different ways culture and environment can affect one’s health and wellness. The film states that about 50 million…

After watching the Documentary “Sicko” I was disgusted, I was embarrassed to live in a country that would do this to their own people. I was surprised that almost fifty million Americans are uninsured, and those that are insured are victims of insurance fraud. Why pay for insurance when the people the run the company are going to try to stop you from using it. That fact that America was ranked 37 out of 191 in the world health system is enough to make you think “is my country doing everything…

The movie “Sicko” by Michael Moore is very eye opening. Before watching that movie, I honestly did not have clue to what the scandal was in health insurance. I was aware that certain people do not qualify for health insurance but I did not know why. After watching that movie, it was very disturbing and upsetting to realize how our health system and government truly works. It is expected for doctors to help those in need. Unfortunately, doctors do not care much about their patients; they are…

Documentary films are aimed at explaining or highlighting aspects that are essential for humans. Film Sicko raises the issue of health care and health insurance in the USA. In addition, the film showed that there are insured Americans suffering from health care service in contrast to other countries (Documentary Storm, 2011). Insurance coverage does not guarantee one’s well-being and health. As it was shown in the film, health insurance companies are trying to maximize their own profits. For…

Sicko Documentary by Michael Moore is a great movie and an exposure to the heretical actions of the insurance industry. It discussed that the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the United States were higher than other countries. His comparison of Frances, Cuba, Canada and the United Kingdom were correct. However, other scenes within the movie seemed over the top and lacked real evidence. I researched and I will analyze the documentary by providing facts found on the internet at my presentation.…

The United States has one of the worst healthcare systems of any developed nation. Also, the American health care system is deteriorating drastically. In 2008 the United States of America had the most deaths from diseases and injuries than any other country because of poor health care. Well isn’t that a stinker for us Americans. No wonder why the producer called the movie sicko. The film is very impulsive and overwhelming because many people suffer from medical conditions which aren’t being…
