For other uses, see Sicko (disambiguation).
Sicko (typeset as SiCKO) is a 2007 documentary film by American film maker Michael Moore. The film investigates the American health care system, focusing on its health insurance and pharmaceutical industry. The film compares the for-profit, non-universal U.S. system with the non-profit universal health care systems of Canada, the United Kingdom, France and Cuba.
Sicko opened to positive reviews, but also generated criticism and controversy. Some policy specialists have praised the film while others have criticized the film for its positive portrayal of the publicly funded health systems of Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and Cuba, and for its negative portrayal of the health care system in the United States.
Sicko was made on a budget of approximately $9 million,[3] and grossed $24.5 million theatrically in the United States.[4] This box office result met the official expectation of The Weinstein Company, which hoped for a gross in line with Bowling for Columbineâ€s $21.5 million US box office gross.[5]

Micheal Moore mag miskien ‘n Disfunksionele Kapitalis wees, maar hy weet hoe om te stir. Amerika het ‘n hele Indistrie gebou op self diskreditasie en daar is mense wat dit self verder vat en Micheal Moore aanval.
Het Suid Afrika die vermoë om die tiepe dokumentêre op te lewer of Mandela en De Klerk die beste wat ons kan doen. Is daar so ‘n Mark in ons land of is ons bang vir die waarheid.
