In Michael Moore’s film, Sicko he produced an effective piece of social commentary that highlights the inadequacies of the American health care system. By focusing on the plight of people who were ensured, and yet not able to receive the care they needed, Moore highlights the racket that in American health care. One of my favorite parts of the film is when he loads a boat of Americans who need medical care and heads to Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. By showing the health care available to the Cuban people, which is more accessible than here in the U.S., then bringing citizens to a prison just off the coast where prisoners are afforded better health care than citizens, Moore is effectively sandwiches the inadequacies of our health care system between that of a Socialist, antagonist of America and the irony of the services provided to criminals who attacked our country.
