I saw Sicko just last week. My husband and I are both in the health care field and realize this system is not perfect. But Mr Moore's view was very one sided. If you talk to people in Canada and Great Britain they do not have the same high opinion of the quality of the care they receive there. Some of what he says is certainly true, and we could use some improvement, but don't believe that the grass is necessarily greener.
