Yes it does strike me that single Mums (Moms!) would be the least able to afford healthcare through no fault of their own, and 'Sicko' really did elaborate on the facts which I sort of knew but assumed mustn't really be the case in the US as no society would put up with such a blatantly unfair system for so long.
Now I hear that Obama is coming in for a lot of flack for wanting to provide some form of free healthcare for all, and again as an outsider looking in I just assume it must be a small minority of higher-ups on the Drugs companies payroll giving him flack as surely the majority would welcome such a move.
Of course, I'd imagine that with their tentacles spread all through Congress, the drugs companies will be scare-mongering that America can't afford free health-care (when virtually every other country can) and that such health-care will result in massive waiting lists, poorer care etc when nothing of the sort has to apply if well implemented.
It truly is shocking that it's taken so long for a president to drive this forward, and shocking that anyone openly criticising such a drive isn't shamed by the public and pilloried.
Today is a gift - that's why it's called the Present.
