My favorite line -

"The industries that profit so hugely from our illnesses spend hundreds of millions of dollars on advertising, public relations and lobbying to “tell their side of the story.”"

I've been surprised by how many Sicko commentaries complain about the movie being one sided, as though the medical industry is some misunderstood little guy.

How can the US medical insurance and big pharmaceutical companies
resist the assault of Michael Moore and the tens of trillions of dollars he
has at his disposal? They will flail around helplessly like marionettes
getting electroshock therapy, mark my words.

This is ONE MM film that I might watch and be interested in.

But, he could do exposes (where is the funny E character?) on many things.

1. auto deaths
2. any number of large government-run bureaucracies
etc.
