Sicko is a 2007 American political documentary film by filmmaker Michael Moore. Investigating health care in the United States, the film focuses on the country's health insurance and the pharmaceutical industry. Moore compares the for-profit non-universal U.S. system with the non-profit universal health care systems of Canada, the United Kingdom, France and Cuba.

On December 13, 2024, in the aftermath of the Killing of Brian Thompson, which renewed public criticism of the health insurance industry, Moore uploaded the entirety of Sicko to YouTube on his official channel,[13] arguing for health care reform as a "solution that does not involve any violence".

The thing that kills me is that historically, the main points he made in the film are not hard to fact-check, just like the ones Gore made in Inconvenient Truth aren't either, just like it's not in the least hard to understand why billionaires and large corporations do everything they can to game the system at the expense of the general public, and yet... the body of Americans, decade after decade, still fool around with not bothering to vote and/or voting against their own interests, and... here we are.

So FA, ignore facts and reality over & over again, and FO.
