Michael Moore movie on U.S. healthcare
AlterNet: EnviroHealth: Controversial Michael Moore Flick "Sicko" Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's: "'The World Health Organization ranks health care systems based on objective measures of medical outcomes: The United States' health care system currently ranks 37th in the world, behind Colombia and Portugal; the United States ranks 44th in the world in infant mortality, behind many impoverished Latin American countries. While infant mortality in the United States is skewed toward poor people, who have rates double the wealthy, the top quintile of the U.S. population has infant mortality rates higher than Canadians in the lowest quintile of wealth."
