Dodd Research Center<\/p>\n<p>The words &#8220;health care&#8221; and &#8220;comedy&#8221; aren&#8217;t usually found in the same sentence, but in Academy Award winning filmmaker Michael Moore&#8217;s film &#8216;SiCKO,&#8217; they go together hand in (rubber) glove.  While Moore&#8217;s &#8216;SiCKO&#8217; follows the trailblazing path of previous hit films, the Oscar-winning BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE and all-time box-office documentary champ FAHRENHEIT 9\/11, it is also something very different for Michael Moore. &#8216;SiCKO&#8217; is a straight-from-the-heart portrait of the crazy and sometimes cruel U.S. health care system, told from the vantage of everyday people faced with extraordinary and bizarre challenges in their quest for basic health coverage.
