Essay / Research Paper Abstract
3 pages in length. Michael Moore's documentary entitled Sicko illustrates the extent to which the United States health care system is based upon profit and not helping Americans get well. To understand the fundamental nature of this broken system and the extreme resistance to fix it is to realize how politicians and big corporation are the two sole entities that hold the power to create positive change. Moore's (2007) insightful glance into comparative global health care systems paints a grim picture of America's future wellbeing, inasmuch as the potential for adopting the effective option of universal health care as it exists in Canada, England and France is wholly unlikely with financial gain the only consideration from big business perspective. No additional sources cited.

insurance company personnel receive bonuses for successfully denying legitimate claims leaves a sour taste of industrial-era capitalism in the mouth of every American who pays into a system that knowingly
refuses to give back. Moore (2007) duly points out this irony with an incident directly related to his film: "Recently, the head of the largest Anti-Michael Moore website
announced that he had to delete the website because his wife had cancer and the insurance would not cover it. Isnt this unfair that a person cannot practice the first
amendment, because of our lousy health insurance? I thought so. So, I sent him the check for 12,000 dollars anonymously and now the site is up and running once more"
(Moore, 2007). Contemporary government has opted to see past the needs of the individual in order to accommodate the requirements of the corporate community. Indeed, while the United
