Sicko

I really liked this documentary. As
a director, Michael Moore must be extremely successful. He managed to persuade me to believe that the United States has the worst health care system which cannot be compared with Canada, France and even Cuba, its imaginary enemy.
The people interviewed said the same thing: when you go to the hospital for help, the doctor, the doctor whose duty is to save lives and heal the wounded, will price every part of your body according to the requirements of the insurance company, and then let you make a choice: middle finger 60,000, ring finger 12,000, take it or not?
the most horrible thing is that before you take some medicine or receive a surgery which may cure your disease, you must ask your insurance's opinion first. It's your body but it is in your hand.
I cannot believe, that is the United of States, a country claiming that it is the mot democratic and happiest one.
I am sure that Michael Moore exaggerate other countries' advantages for the sake of highlighting America's terrible system.
I don't agree with some articles that the biggest difficulty in American health care reform is that the people oppose the government's meddling in things too much; I more agree with Michael Moore's point of view: it is caused by the collusion between the government and large medical insurance companies.

Chinese translation, I prefer neurological patients: When Michael Moore did a random interview in many hospitals in France, I felt that he is sicko. The translation of medical insider is too straightforward.

The purpose of Michael Moore's film is clearly to break the American dream in many hearts, so the clips and examples he uses are somewhat extreme and far from comprehensive. But empty blood can't come to the wind, so the film still has a strong practical significance. Of course, there is no need for people to completely lose hope in the United States because of one movie, but blindly believing in everything is always wrong. Any country has its own good and bad. The key depends on how you measure and evaluate it. After all, everyone has different ideas.

    The author's tendency should not be too obvious. But Moore saw that my country’s medical insurance system didn’t have to make movies anymore-just wipe his neck!
