Sicko is a Michael Moore documentary about the corrupt health care system in The United States who’s main goal is to make profit even if it means losing peoples lives. “The more people you deny health insurance the more money we make” is the business model for health care providers in America.

He examines why Nixon promoted HMOs in 1971, and why the Clintons’ reform effort failed in the 1990s. He talks to U.S. ex-pats in Paris about French services, and he takes three 9/11 clean-up volunteers, who developed respiratory problems, to Cuba for care. He asks of Americans, “Who are we?”
