Michael Moore's "Sicko"

I'm sure all here will be surprised to know that I don't plan on seeing it.

It is easy to present a persuasive argument when only one side of the argument is presented. This is fine and I have no problem with that. It is not intended to be a debate, but something tells me the less than ideal parts of socialized medicine are not presented. If I accept the premise that Cuba provides the best health care in the world (which I do not), then I would ask for what? So I can live on rations of beans and rice in a communist dictatorship without freedom and be relatively free from illness in my servitude of the state?

As for the "suckitude" of the American system....someone once said (and it escapes me...Benjamin Franklin, maybe?) that democracy is the worst form of government, except for tall the others. I would suggest something similar could be said of the American health care system.
