It's morally incomprehensible that in the year 2021 the US still hasn't universalized healthcare. -In the documentary film Sicko Michael Moore does a great job of comparing the US healthcare system with healthcare in the rest of the civilized world by showcasing the wastefulness and cruelty of the US system. You can find [criticism of the film on Wikipedia](https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicko#Response). Keep in mind health insurance companies with billions of dollars ran a campaign to discredit the film. Given that, I take the criticisms with a grain of salt. The thrust of the film is accurate regardless: America has a broken healthcare system and fixing it is a moral imperative. +In the documentary film Sicko Michael Moore does a great job of comparing the US healthcare system with healthcare in the rest of the civilized world by showcasing the wastefulness and cruelty of the US system.

It has improved healthcare access in the United States. If you want to catch up on American healthcare you should read about it after watching the film. President-elect Joe Biden promoted the public option which offers public healthcare to everyone as a federal program (Bidencare) forcing private insurers to compete with the government. Not as good as Bernie's Medicare for All which would catch us up with the rest of the civilized world but Bidencare would at least be better than what we have now assuming he actually goes forward with it and it doesn't end up being watered down. +The only comment I would make is the film (2007) is slightly dated because past president Barack Obama has since passed a major piece of legislation called the [Affordable Care Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affordable_Care_Act) (Obamacare) which was designed to address the gaps in America's healthcare system.
