As current Australian government seems intent on taking an axe to Medicare in order to replace our current health system by one modelled on that of the United States, we need to know what we can expect. Michael Moore's film “Sicko” provides timely insight into the American system, dominated by Health Maintenance Organisations (HMOs) which regard “health care” as a commodity to be sold to maximise profit. Entry is free. Dinner available from 6pm at the Armidale Club, 91 Beardy Street.
