Of course the healthcare crisis in US is a major concern in US, making Michael Moores stinging documentary Sicko a runaway hit.

It features memorable testimony from a conscience-stricken physician employed by a health insurance company. She refused to authorize a client's life-or-death operation to save her employer the expense. No one ever called her to account, the doctor said, because the organisation's legal framework encouraged her to focus on the bottom line of profit with cold rationality.

According to the Children's Defense Fund Minnesota, 79,000 children in the state had no health insurance in 2006.

"I'd be ashamed and embarrassed to call myself a Minnesotan if I heard that statistic," Moore said in an interview.

At the very least, why wouldn't you insure the children? That's a cruel thing not to do in such a highly developed and wealthy society as we have."
