Sicko Education

It’s nice to see that the Wisconsin Alliance of Cities is seeking to educate its members on the health care issue. 

First, we need baseline information. The most entertaining place to get that is to see Sicko, the Michael Moore ("Roger and Me,” “Bowling for Columbine,” “Fahrenheit 9/11” etc.) film about the ailments of the health care system in this country. It manages to look at some very scary realities without losing its sense of humor. Folks with a scalpel to grind do sometimes say bad things about it. But it’s hard for anyone with an open mind to see why.

Nice to know that people who might say something bad about Moore’s movie just don’t have an “open mind.”
