I saw "Sicko" last night and cried and cried, during the movie and after.

It is. I think it's Michael Moore's best work. I'll even forgive him his pandering to U.S. patriotism and the occasional cheap shot.

digby saw it this weekend and described her reactions to it. excerpt:

But I think what got me about that particular story was the fact that this woman worked in the hospital where the board of directors of this managed care company also worked. She spoke to them personally. She wasn't just a piece of paper in an in-box. It was a real live person, a colleague and neighbor, literally begging for her husband's life ... and they said no. For profit. It makes me want to howl in pain and outrage.
