With the release of "SICKO", Michael Moore showed us just how fucked up he thinks our healthcare system is here in the United States... Here is his simple prescription for changing the healthcare system in the US:

1) Every Resident of the United States must have free, Universal Healthcare for life.

2) All Health Insurance companies must be abolished.

3) Pharmaceutical companies must be strictly regulated like a public utility.
