The United States is really an evil country, and then, China should not be bad. The two most evil countries in China and the United States should be essentially the same.
It seems that any system has a broken part, and there are always those outside the edge who are forgotten, ignored, excluded, squeezed, and destroyed. In this world, there is no paradise, no pure land.
In fact, I am most interested in the beginning, about 50 million people without medical insurance. But at that moment I reflected two other things. What I want to say is that people who have really experienced extreme pain and are deeply stuck in a state of existence cannot extricate themselves. People who have experienced such dark experiences will not truly have a heart of compassion. They may not feel the pain of others, but some kind of sympathy. The pleasure of releasing, and the whole world, should be disgust, if not hatred. Maybe that's because the only thing that can save despair is more despair. When you still have some illusions and some kindness in your heart, you will only make yourself weak, sad, painful, and desperate.

Sicko quotes

  • Aleida Guevara: Cuba is a little island in the Caribbean with little to no resources. We can do a lot to improve the people's health. This does not happen in the United States. Why are we able and you are not?

  • [final lines]

    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.
