COMMUNITY RATING




This looks at the medical establishment and the U.S. healthcare system and sees how patients are not saved because insurance companies choose not to incur the costs. Moore will see how many lives he can save in the documentary. The idea for Sicko stems from a segment Moore did on his The Awful Truth TV show, in which he staged a mock funeral at an HMO for a patient denied an organ transplant he needed to survive. The HMO relented and paid for the transplant.
