Michael Moore's SiCKO

Updated: July 1, 2007. SiCKO is back on Google Video.
Updated: Michael Moore is not OK with his movie being pirated. Making money is still more important than getting the message out. The video below no longer works.


SiCKO is a documentary film by Michael Moore, scheduled for release on June 29, 2007. It investigates the American health care system with a focus on the behavior of large health insurance companies and contrasts the U.S. system with those of other countries with universal health care coverage.

Via his blog, Moore requested "Health Care Horror Stories" from the public in an effort to share his view on the health care industry.

When asked about this movie, Michael Moore said, "If people ask, we tell them SiCKO is a comedy about 45 million people with no health care in the richest country on Earth."[3] On April 19, 2007, Moore announced on his website that Sicko had been selected for the 2007 Cannes Film Festival where it had its world premiere on May 19, 2007. Moore also announced a June 29, 2007 release date for the U.S. and Canada.

  1. there's been several articles about sicko in the british papers over here...generally speaking I think the man may be losing his clout. although the message he gives is a serious one which is prevalent in US today i'm not so sure how many ppl are actually listening..lets see...
