sicko

I just finished watching Sicko, a Michael Moore documentary about US Healthcare.

With just a few minutes after the film started off, I was so sure I would write an entry about it here. I was amazed and became a fan of Moore’s Farenheit 9/11, but that is nothing compared to the amusement and fun I got with Sicko.

Three important thoughts about the film:

1. The points of the film extend far beyond the United States of America. It goes head on to every single country with no reasonable healthcare policies.

2. It’s theme goes far beyond just health policies. It talks about government, yours and mine.

3.  More than government and health, it talks about humanity, about an idea too good to overlook: looking after another. 

4. I always believe in the Philippines, and intends to stay here all my life. I never really considered permanently moving into another country, until I saw this film.

5. Where the hell do all of our taxes go? I can lecture on and on about it, and so could you. We all know where it is intended to go, don’t we? But we don’t really know where it go: we can’t see it, and it don’t work for us. Read: it don’t work.

6. And yes, I am way over my ‘three important points’. Sixth already, and I can still go for another six. Watch the film, I bet you’ll be able to list a lot more.

7. And did I say ‘watch the film’? More than political, it made me laugh more than any of the comedy films I’ve seen.
