If you missed Michael Moore’s new movie Sicko this summer, you didn’t just miss one of the year’s best and simultaneously most important movies, you missed a phenomenon. Sicko is now the third highest grossing documentary of all time, right behind March of the Penguins and Moore’s own Fahrenheit 9/11.
It’s out of theaters now, but you’re about to get a second chance to see it. The Weinstein Company is re-releasing Sicko in theaters this weekend, in an attempt to wake all of you up to just how screwed our healthcare system is, oh and they wouldn’t mind making a little more money in the process. It’s time somebody took those bastard penguins down.
Yep, Sicko takes another bow in theaters this Friday, September 28th. No word yet on how wide the movie’s release will be, but we’ve been told it’s hitting at least three theaters in Texas. One in the Dallas suburbs, one in San Antonio, and another in Houston. Odds are if you’re in or near a major city, it may show up on your doorstep as well.
If you haven’t seen it, this is your chance to seek it out. If you hate Michael Moore and think his movie has nothing to offer you, then read this. Don’t miss Sicko.

Maybe I'm just greedy, but I want my health care dollars to go towards my health care. Why should my dollars go towards making insurance company CEOs and shareholders rich?
Ever since I first forked over a rent-sized payment for a health insurance premium, I've been asking this question to everyone I know: "Why can't I pay for health care the same way I pay for the police and fire department?" Those are expensive services, but I pay just a little--along with everyone else in the country--and have protection if I need it.
I can also turn on a faucet in any city in the United States and get water. Why can't health care be that easy?
I can't thank Michael Moore enough for asking these questions in his movie "SiCKO." He's louder than me, so maybe this time, someone will answer these questions, and we'll get a national health care plan where our dollars go towards our healthcare.
