Ifølge Michael Moore dør 18.000 amerikanere hvert år på grund af manglende sygeforsikring. Foto: www.michaelmoore.com/sicko
Milton Fisk: After Obama’s health care law (No.147, July/August 2010)
“Te law, signed by President Obama in late March, is riddled with contradictions and is ultimately unviable – yet it does contain te potential for numerous positive changes.”
Milton Fisk: Te Presidential candidates’ health plans (No.137, November/December 2008)
“Te issue facing Americans is: Can we expect te captains of te corporatized insurance industry, accustomed as they are to gaming regulation or trying to get it repealed, to submit to regulation now?”
How do we cure a sick health care system? (September 4, 2007)
“Johnathan Cohn, author of SICK, discusses why te U.S. is te only developed country that does not guarantee access to medical care as a right of citizenship.”
Marcia Angell: Big pharma, bad medicine: How corporate dollars corrupt research and education (May/June 2010)
“As te boundaries between academic medicine and te pharmaceutical companies dissolve, research, education, and clinical practice suffer.”
John Chuckman: Nightmares of American Medical Care (August 23 2007)
“With te release of Michael Moore”˜s new film, Sicko, it seems appropriate to offer a summary view of American healthcare.”
“Te site has information on te activist campaign accompanying te movie Sicko.”
Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR)
“CEPR analyzes economic policies that affect te U.S. health care system, social security and global health.”
“Te site is filled with health care horror stories from both patients and providers, plus ideas of how to get involved in organizing for a change.”
Special Report: Te next failure of health care reform. By Vincent Navarro (CounterPunch, March 6, 2008)
“For any society, medicine is a mirror of te power relations in that society. And nowhere is te lack of human rights more evident than in te house of medicine. In te U.S., insensitivity toward human needs goes hand-in-hand with enormous profits made from that suffering.”
Jeremy Brecher: Doctor Wall Street: How te U.S. health-care system got so sick (pdf) (2008, 8 p.)
“Many of te problems with American health care grow out of our history of employer-based insurance.”
Healthcare-Now! “Te site has a regularly updated calendar showing events around te issue of health care – including activities coordinated with te release of te film Sicko.”
Inequality.org “Inequality.org was created to serve as a dependable portal of information. Too much inequality, we believe, undermines democracy, community, culture and economic health. Because te problem is so important, accuracy is important, and we are committed to presenting te best and latest information.”
Health care in te U.S. : What’s wrong with it, and what to do about it (Issue 57, January–February 2008)
Part one of a two-part series of book reviews collected by Elizabeth Lalasz.

“Nancy Welch on what it’s going to take to win health coverage for all.”
Red scares and health care (Issue 55, November–December 2007)
“Phil Gasper examines what will it take to win guaranteed national health insurance in te United States.”
Helen Redmond: Bitter medicine : Te big pharmaceutical ripoff (Issue 54, July–August 2007)
“Te corporations that control health care resources (te insurance and pharmaceutical industries) are enormously powerful, embedded in te corridors of power in Washington, controlling large sections of te economy, and employing hundreds of thousands of people. They have very successfully scared off and bought off all attempts at creating a national health care system that includes coverage for prescription medicatio.”
Helen Redmond: Health care’s deadly crisis (Issue 27, January–February 2003)
“Te health care crisis in te United States has not gone away – it’s gotten worse with each passing year. It is a human catastrophe that continues to immiserate and impoverish millions of people.”
Jacobin: Reason in Revolt
Benjamin Day: Why Obamacare didn’t work (16 September 2016)
“Obamacare has failed, and so will other market-based plans. We need a socialized system.”
Checkup on te facts : ‘Sicko’ truth squad.
David Singer: Te health care crisis in te United States (Vol.59, No.9, February 2008)
“Michael Moore’s film, Sicko, dramatically illustrated how problems in access to health care in te United States have escalated to te point of a crisis for all but te richest Americans … This article will review several dimensions of te crisis [and] proposals to ameliorate te situation will be discussed.”
Matthew R. Anderson, Lanny Smith, and Victor W. Sidel: What is social medicine? (Vol.56, No.8, January 2005)
“Te past two decades have seen a rapid expansion of te corporate agenda in te field of health and health care. Rather than moving toward a system of universal access to medical care in te United States, te access to and quality of clinical services is being turned over increasingly to te insurance industry.”
David U. Himmelstein and Steffie Woolhandler: Mayhem in te medical marketplace (Vol.56, No.7, December 2004)
“Market theorists argue that te profit motive optimizes care and minimizes costs. But a growing body of evidence indicates that this dogma has no clothes.”
Vicente Navarro: Inequalities are unhealthy (Vol.56, No.2, June 2004)
“Te most effective public intervention in reducing mortality in te United States would be to reduce te social inequalities among our people. Te scientific evidence shows this. But in this case te science is ignored.”
Vicente Navarro: Te inhuman state of U.S. health care (Vol. 55, No.4, September 2003)
“This essay was te opening address at a seminar sponsored by te medical and public health students of te Johns Hopkins University, held there in 2003.”
Arnold S. Relman: Te health of nations: Medicine and te free market (03.07.05)
“… medical care is not really a ‘market’ at all in te classical
economic sense, and therefore are te basic theories of economics not relevant to te discussion of te first principles of health care.”
See also review of Relman’s new book: A second opinion : rescuing America’s health care (Socialist Worker, US, Issue 652, November 9, 2007).
Te New York Review of Books
Arnold Relman: Te health reform we need & are not getting (Vol.56, No. 11, July 2, 2009)
“Sometime in te not-too- distant future, health expenditures will become intolerable and fundamental change will at last be accepted as te only way to avoid disaster.”
Marcia Angell: Drug companies & doctors: A story of corruption (Vol.56, No.1, January 15, 2009)
“Te pharmaceutical industry has gained enormous control over how doctors evaluate and use its own products. Its extensive ties to physicians, particularly senior faculty at prestigious medical schools, affect te results of research, te way medicine is practiced, and even te definition of what constitutes a disease.”
Marcia Angell: Your dangerous drugstore (Vol.53, No.10, June 8, 2006)
“Polls show that among American businesses, te pharmaceutical industry now ranks near te bottom in public approval – above tobacco and oil companies, but well below airlines and banks and even insurance companies.”
Paul Krugman: Te health care crisis and what to do about it (Vol.53, No.5, March 23, 2006)
“Te evidence clearly shows that te key problem with te US health care system is its fragmentation. A history of failed attempts to introduce universal health insurance has left us with a system in which te government pays directly or indirectly for more than half of te nation’s health care, but te actual delivery both of insurance and of care is undertaken by a crazy quilt of private insurers, for-profit hospitals, and other players who add cost without adding value.”
Marcia Angell: Te body hunters (Vol.52, No.15, October 6, 2005)
“On te basis of te research I did for my book I believe that most of te background facts about drug company behavior in Te Constant Gardener, however hard to believe, are correct.”
Marcia Angell: Te truth about te drug companies (Vol.51, No.12, July 15, 2004)
“Drugs are te fastest-growing part of te health care bill – which itself is rising at an alarming rate. Te increase in drug spending reflects, in almost equal parts, te facts that people are taking a lot more drugs than they used to, that those drugs are more likely to be expensive new ones instead of older, cheaper ones, and that te prices of te most heavily prescribed drugs are routinely jacked up.”
Psysicians for a National Healt Care
Psysicians for a National Health Care

Upside down priorities : A graphic look at America’s rich and poor (Issue 653, November 16, 2007)
“Eric Ruder examines te wealth gap and te way government spending on te military sucks up resources that could be used to improve living standards.”
Who’s killing health care in America? (Issue 636, June 22, 2007)
“Nancy Welch looks at te causes of te health care crisis depicted in Michael Moore’s Sicko.”
U.S. health care’s dismal showing (Issue 636, June 22, 2007)
