Reviews of the Michael Moore movie "Sicko" are mostly positive, though many do concede that the movie is propaganda rather than a true documentary. The movie idealizes socialized medicine in places like Cuba and France and demeans health care in the US, so one is left to wonder why folks are not leaving the US for Cuba and France? And why are folks willing to take the hazardous step of leaving the paradise of Cuba for the mean old US? The English socialized medicine system is failing, and is under attack. Over 40% of the Doctors are from third world countries. There are long waiting lines for routine treatment, like maybe six months to a year or more. Life expectancy is falling. The argument for socialized medicine seems to be that everyone has equally bad treatment, unless you are super rich.
