"SICKO!" is a very powerful and intelligent documentary produced by a man whose face may yet be carved into a stone-topped mountain! It is not perfect and does make some of the few mistakes we have come to expect from Mr. Moore, but all in all SICKO! is the real opening shot, the spark that will ignite a peaceful revolution in American political reality...or so we must hope! SICKO! shows us Americans that we should incorporate the best of what exists in the national health systems of Canada, the UK, France, Norway and even Cuba (which is one country that has more negative social and political realities than Mr. Moore cares to show), but SICKO! does make one serious mistake: it fails to inform us Americans that the kind of relatively decent public health systems found in those relatively progressive countries cannot be made reality here in America without also incorporating their overall Social Democratic social and political reality! America has only one true choice: become a relatively progressive liberal Social Democracy or implode under the excessive weight of a failed corporate-controlled health-denying monstrosity!
Whatever you do this Winter Holiday Season be sure to buy as many copies of SICKO! you can afford and give them as gifts to those you love and care for!
I, Jean-Pierre Ady Fenyo, The Original New York City Free Advice Man, strongly advise everyone to watch SICKO! by Michael Moore NOW! And do something, anything reasonable, to end our national health and wealth crisis TODAY!

Even though Michael Moore is often hated by many, I think he really does open our eyes to what's REALLY going on out there. Some people just don't want to know the truth. Denial isn't going to get us anywhere. This new documentary about heatlh care in the US is a complete shocker! Living on a fixed income already makes paying increasing Medicare Premiums difficult let alone subscribing to a whole new service that might not even work or help. It's really nice to have people like you, "Free Advice Man! We need to get the word out about what's really happening with our healthcare! For those of you who want to take action and have a say about the standards set for your health care, you should check out a site that the AARP set up. (www.ThisIsSoRidiculous.com). It was set up so that we can get our voices heard on this important issue by signing a petition and contacting our congressman. I am working to support AARP. We all need to come together on this issue, before it's too late!
