Ubi bene ibi patria
"Sicko shines spotlight on healthcare but the result may not be what Michael Moore asked for. FDR, Upton Sinclair and Great Depression hold the clues.
So much has been said and written about Sicko that what else is there to add? Let me take a shot. To move past propaganda and counter-propaganda (from all sides) and try to take a pragmatic approach. Several key questions exist:
* What are the historic parallels?
* What is likely to happen as the public debate progresses?
* What should people and institutions actually do?
In my analysis I am assuming that Sicko is going to create a strong enough wave for some kind of healthcare reform. Do not let middling box office numbers fool you about the power of Moore's message to galvanize public interest."
