Frequently asked questions

What is Sicko about? Toggle content

Sicko is a documentary film that examines the American healthcare system and its flaws. The film begins by highlighting the struggle of uninsured Americans and the challenges faced by those who have insurance but are still denied care. Michael Moore, the filmmaker, interviews various individuals, including former employees of insurance companies, who reveal the cost-cutting measures that prioritize profits over patient care. Moore also compares the American healthcare system to those of other countries, such as Canada and France, which provide universal healthcare and have better health outcomes. The film culminates with a group of 9/11 rescue workers traveling to Cuba to receive free medical care, contrasting the failing American system with other countries' successful models. Ultimately, Sicko argues for a need for change in America's broken healthcare system.
