Michael Moore's Sicko: 9/10

I highly recommend this to any Canadian. While Michael Moore's movies might be sensationalized somewhat and biased in its own ways, and you might not even like him, the points he brings up in the movie are real and valid truths that American's face every single day - especially those who are just breaking into society (the young and educated). It puts into perspective the difference between the medical coverage that Canadians enjoy without a second thought, and the corruption and tragic reality that hundreds of millions of our neighbours realize when it comes time to pay their medical bills. Many Americans THINK they're covered until insurance companies deny them a bail out and they have to sell their homes to pay off medical expenses. If you thought being in debt in Vancouver is bad, take a look at some of these bills.
