What Michael Moore left out of Sicko

Kudos for Moore for eloquently stating the problems with our current system.

Jeers for presenting such a one-sided utopia as a solution:

But even with these efforts, the British government has found it hard to cover its expensive obligations. So in addition to waiting lists, substandard care and increased outsourcing, the government has adopted outright rationing to control costs . . .

. . . Rationing, as history proves time and again, is always a recipe for horror.

The U.S. health-care system certainly has its shortfalls. But the solution to America’s woes can’t be found in the U.K. — no matter how many movie tickets Mr. Moore sells.
