Anna - I am really looking forward to seeing Sicko as I love Michael Moore's films. I saw some clips from the movie when he was on Oprah a couple of weeks ago and was shocked at the way things are in the US when it comes to the health care system. I feel I will never complain about the Canadian system again! One of the clips they showed was the part about the suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay getting better health care treatment than most Americans - the way he took the sick WTC cleanup workers down there in a boat and shouted through the megaphone that they needed medical attention - tragic but funny! I read today that Sicko is the second largest opening weekend ever for a documentary - Fahrenheit 9/11 was first.
