With voting season already here I decided it was time for me to get some information on national health care or at least try to see multiple viewpoints of national health care. I know this movie is old news for many of you but thanks in advance for responding.
I feel that in order to make a good argument you must show both sides. I feel this film did not do that. It seems as if Michael Moore left out many great things in our health care system but made it a point to display it's shortcomings. He also interviews many people who take advantage of a national health care system. Each of them with good experiences, yet there are no bad experiences. Somehow that is hard to believe. As the editor, Moore takes advantage of the audience by only presenting information on his view. I understand that Sicko is a documentary and not necessarily arguing anything, but simply showing his viewpoint on health care and what national health care could do for us from specific situations.
The last statement leaves me with a question. Is there a documentary like "Sicko" but showing the downsides to national health care or even both sides?
