Not more or less than the USA...

Also, I see you are revealing your short-sightedness? I mean, even though you might not like 1 element, who says there aren't like a 100 others that you do like?
For ex. a working public healthcare system, where you can get insured at decent rates, and the insurance companies wont always try to pull you a leg, when you in fact need some support.

But where does that healthcare system come from? Taxes, right? Where do taxes come from? Tax payers, correct? In other words, money stolen from the people. :\

Wrong, they come from proper government control on insurance companies.
Besides that, I don't see taxes as stealing or something, for 1 simple reason, without it, the world would be a mess.
You can't charge 1 person for something like police, or even something as simple as street lights. For those kinds of things you need taxes.
You can debate about whether or not you need them for things like social security, true.

Without a doubt the most unbalanced film I have ever seen. Michael Moore is a complete moron in that film and looks out of place everywhere except a burger bar (there are none in the movie so he just looks out of place). Yes the health care system needs looking into but they pay no where near as much tax and you really have to choose one or the other.

Sicko makes the US health care system look like crap, compared to the way I was treated in canada, waiting 6 hours in line for an appointment at 1pm rocked.

Sicko, like any Michael Moore film, is full of stretched truths, and agenda setting.

I WISH Canada's health-care system was as great as Michael Moore said it was, because if it was, we wouldn't be sending Canadians down to the States for treatment.

Yep, health care might be free to an extent but the wait times are way too long. -_-

I'd quite happily wait 6 hours to get my finger sown back on than to pay 12k.

Over here in the UK where we get free National Health Service (NHS) it may not be the greatest of quality but it does its job. You don't end up bankrupt because your insurance company refuses to let the doctors treat you because of an outstanding illness thats not even related.

I seem to be getting by with the health care system...and I come from a working class family...not exactly the "mega rich." In Sicko doesn't Moore take some people down to Cuba and show how "great" their health care system is..lol wtf?

My mother had a tumor and cancer nearly a year ago.

Not only did she get surgery to remove the tumor, But Chemotherapy to kill the cancer off.

Then a month later she got pneumonia, She got treated for that, too.

Guess how much is was to get treated for all that? FREE!

I think I sunk your battleship.

Last I checked, the government only supplies to people who subscribed to a program back in the 80's/early-90's, so Rocko would have to be in his mid-30's at least.
