Will Sicko change anything?

Some have their doubts:

Stuart Altman, dean of the Heller Graduate School for Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University, said accounts such as those that appear in the film of insurance companies denying people coverage for medical care “make people furious.” However, he questioned whether the film would have a significant effect on policy. He said U.S. residents “hate the system — it’s too expensive — but we have been hearing about these things for 35 years.” Altman added, “Unless we have a meltdown which affects the middle class — that is nowhere near happening — we will not be willing to fundamentally restructure the system.”
