More than 2,000 movie goers at the Cannes Film Festival applauded loudly at the first showing of Michal Moore's newest film, "Sicko," all about the perils of our country's modern healthcare system.
Expect it in theatres in June.
So far the reviews are mixed between hilarious and very sad.
The latter is a good summary of our healthcare system which is likely responsible for more deaths than we like to admit through infections, mis-diagnosis, delayed treatment, drug overdoses and incompetent doctors. In fact, a recent study found that among the largest industrialized nations, the U.S. spends the most on healthcare and has the poorest outcomes in terms of access, patient safety, efficiency and equity.
Moore found that our federal regulators were not laughing at his film. On his website, he doesn't understand how they may have seen a preview, since it's been a guarded secret, but the Treasury Department has been investigating Moore for allegedly breaking a trade embargo with Cuba, where he went to shoot a segment on 911 ground zero workers getting medical care. Moore's lawyers told him it was possible he could face a fine, jail time or the film could be seized.
I mean, folks, I have just about had it. Investigating ME because I'm trying to help some 9/11 rescue workers our government has abandoned? Once again, up is down and black is white. There are only two people in need of an investigation and a trial, and the desire for this across America is so widespread you don't even need to see the one's smirk or hear the other's sneer to know who I am talking about
Never shy at self promotion, "Sicko" will pack a punch at the box office.
