Rhetorical Analysis of Sicko In Sicko, Michael Moore presents a relatable documentary of the disintegrated U.S. healthcare system which deprives a lot of Americans the health treatment that they need. As the film progresses, he fulfils his argument that Americans need to fight for Universal healthcare by unfolding the flaws of the American healthcare industries and contrasting it with the socialized healthcare in other countries such as France, Canada, Cuba, and Great Britain. Moore further supports his argument by showing real life horror stories and testimonies of insured working class Americans and the healthcare workers.

This gives the audience an emotional response mainly anger, hatred towards the American healthcare companies, sympathy towards the afflicted and fear of being one of the victims of American healthcare system.
