*[SiCKO](http://www.michaelmoore.com/sicko/)* was a very funny film, and I praise Michael Moore for [starting the conversation](https://www.cato.org/event.php?eventid=3897) and pointing out many horrors of the U.S. health care system.

But from a policy standpoint – and I say this more in sadness than in anger – *SiCKO* was so breathtaking a specimen of ignorant propaganda that it would make *[Pravda](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pravda)* blush.
