See the whole movie on June 29th. The movie opens with an uninsured carpenter with severed digits who must decide if he wants doctors to reattach his ring finger for $12,000 or his middle finger for $60,000 -- "Sicko's" central thrust is to hold up models of superior, government-provided care in France, Canada and (in a twist that has landed Moore in hot water with the U.S. Treasury Department) Cuba.

"I don't have to convince the American public that there is something wrong with our health care system. I think most American people already feel that way," said Moore, who enjoys great coverage himself through the Directors Guild of America. "That's why I don't spend a lot of time in the film on the healthcare horror stories. I wanted to propose that there's a different way we can go with this. I'm hoping that the American people, when they see this film, will say, 'You know, there is a better way, and maybe we should look at what they are doing in some of these other countries..."

May you never have to pick which finger to reattach. The sad thing is I couldn't afford either.

The UK NHS is free at the point of delivery but it does have it's problems that politicians would prefer to ignore.

America is one of the only major modern countries without a universal health care system that isn't completely rested on the individual. Ours may not be the worst, but I'm sure the ones that are worse are MUCH worse and the ones that are better are MUCH better. What happened to trying to number one for America? Are we trying so hard to be number one in disfigured and dying due to our "disease industry", as Jello Biafra so well put it?

I have no idea who Deep Focus that made the copyright claim on the video is, but I bet Michael Moore is gonna be pissed as he had the same clip on the front page of his own web site...
