Watch Sicko Now

Michael Moore's Sicko, a documentary look at our screwed up health care system and the powerful forces who prefer it stays screwed up, opens June 29. However, the movie has leaked out to the Net--probably on purpose--and YouTube. So you can watch much of it by following this link to YouTube. I've only watched a bit of it so far and found it to be your usual expose of non-coverage coverage health insurance. I have no idea whether the documentary gets into the psych world.

Anyway, I pass it along for what it may be worth to anyone. Oh, yes. Moore told the press he was fine with his work being shared on the Net for free.

Great movie. Moore's step into the psych world is not at all bad, there's a voice over of a general anxiety disorder commercial while video rolls of slaves working, implying that perhaps hopelessness and such are symptomatic not of brain disorders but of social ills.
