The American Dream, individualism, has long been suspected. SICKO's tidbits are very good, comparable to the original. Four people interviewed deserve mention,
one is a Cuban communist doctor, very lovely, respectable and touching.
One is a university medical lecturer, who introduced that big companies make 20% of the huge profits, 80% of the new flowers are no different from the old drugs, and 75% of them are the old drugs that have changed their names to continue the original patents. , guaranteeing the continued profitability of large companies holding patents.
One is a law school professor. Among the people who got sick and went bankrupt after collecting evidence, 75% had medical insurance. She suggested that the government should take over the medical insurance. People’s insurance money has become the sky-high salary of the CEO, and administrative expenses are not used. on the insurer.
The other is a former British Labour MP, Tony Ben, who claims to have been a socialist all his life, raising taxes, promoting free education and free medical care, and all kinds of social justice, advocating returning rights to the people.

One of the tidbits is titled Is Norway a Utopia? Another is about Freedom of Religion. The Cuban mother was interviewed. Moore suggested that she blink once or twice to indicate whether what she said was true or false. She smiled and blinked once.

    Michael Moore: It was hard for me to acknowledge that in the end, we truly are all in the same boat. And that now matter what are differences, we sink or swim together. That's how it seems to be everywhere else. They take care of each other, no matter what their disagreements. You know, when we see a good idea from another country, we grab it. If they build a better car, we drive it. If they make a better wine, we drink it. So if they've come up with a better way to treat the sick, to teach their kids, to take care of their babies, to simply be good to each other, then what's our problem? Why can't we do that? They live in a world of 'we', not 'me'. We'll never fix anything until we get that one basic thing right. And powerful forces hope that we never do. And that we remain the only country in the western world without free, universal health care. You know, if we ever did remove the chokehold of medical bills, college loans, daycare, and everything else that makes us afraid to step out of line, well, watch out. Cause it will be a new day in America. In the meantime, I'm gonna go get the government to do my laundry.

  • Michael Moore: I'm wondering why you expect your fellow Canadians, who don't have your problem, why should they, through their tax dollars, have to pay for a problem you have.

    Canadian: Because we would do the same for them.

    Michael Moore: Yeah, but...

    Canadian: It's just the way it's always been, and so we hope it'll always be.

    Michael Moore: Right. But if you just had to pay for your problem, and don't pay for everybody else's problem - just take care of yourself.

    Canadian: Well, there are lots of people who aren't in a position to be able to do that. And somebody has to look out for them.

    Michael Moore: Are you a member of like the Socialist party here?

    Canadian: No, no.

    Michael Moore: Green party?

    Canadian: No. Well, actually I'm a member of the Conservative party. Is that bad?

    Michael Moore: Well, it's just a little confusing.

    Canadian: Well, it shouldn't be. I think that where medical matters are concerned, it wouldn't matter in Canada what party you were affiliated with.
