Doctors and thieves, they both wear masks...
This afternoon, I finally got around to watching Sicko. Unlike the initial crowd that watched the film, I was neither compelled to confirm nor deny the information presented though I would like to say that I felt it to be a fairly astute and undeniable indictment of the healthcare system currently at work within the country ( Read more... ) -
