I think we all know about Michael Moore's typically underhanded approach to making "documentaries" that have more in common with war-time propaganda than something you'd see on the Discovery Channel.

But its not about attacking the creator as much as the problems in the US system. Although, when you compare the worse of the US system with the best of Canada's, you're not exactly dealing in fact, as both have their fair share of shortcomings.

I only wish he (and others of his ilk) would show the shortcomings of all the healthcare systems in NA and Western Europe, as well as their obvious benefits... then its a starting point for real and positive discussion. Sadly, that's not the MO of Moore, and that's most likely not what "Sicko" is going to be about either.
