    I'M ASHAMED-MRK,MD

    by caymus

    At the midpoint of SICKO, I was not surprised by the information being depicted and the accompanying narrative of Mr. Moore..I realized I was ashamed at being an American physician in private practice for 40 years. I live in Italy six months of the year and have used the Italian health care system which is offered to all permanent residents and its citizens. It is excellent and not driven by profit. Although Mr. Moore is critical of Kaiser Permanente, it is the best HMO model we have as it spends 95 cents of every health care premium it receives on direct patient care. The"big blues" (Blue Shield and Blue Cross) as well as the majority of the other major HMOs mentioned spend 12-15% on administrative costs, leaving only 85-88 cents for patient care. The middle and upper level managment of these companies make more than most primary care physicians.We must focus on erasing this concept of profit ingrained in the system at the current time. Let's focus on care for those without access.

    I loved it truly as educational experience. I took my two boys ages 13 and 15 and they too walked away enriched by the experience. It made us think and question, how many films can do that. Our initial response was maybe we should pack up and move to France. Michael thanks for being out there and doing what you do.

    This is an important movie to see and will have you laughing or crying the entire time

    The issues regarding health care Moore addresses in this movie are extremely critical and timely. This is perhaps Moore's most touching and entertaining film. Although it is certainly fair to argue that some of the topics (i.e., the health care system in Cuba) are presented in a slanted fashion (i.e, Moore doesn't portray how Cubans often face shortages of basic medicines and supplies or how some people in countries with national health care purchase supplemental insuannce to make sure they have ready access specialized care ), it is clear that he raises many excellent points and allows many people share their tragic stories that would not be heard otherwise. Don't let your misgivings about Moore's style prevent you from seeing this movie. Hopefully, it will encourage us Americans to take action (put aside our political affiliations), stop being afraid, and demand universal health care for all!
