- Moore seems to suggest a national paradox—Americans are known as the kindest, most giving people in the world, but they can also be some of the greediest, most selfish, most self-interested as well. How would the Bible address this contradiction?
- If people matter to God, they should matter to us. If we have it within our power, as Christians, to provide universal healthcare to everyone, do we have an obligation to do so? Why or why not?

For parents to consider
Sicko is rated PG-13 for strong language. But even without the language, it's not a film for children because its subject matter and structure would hardly interest them. But for mid-teens and older, it's excellent fodder for discussion along the lines of social justice, compassion, and our Christian responsibility to love and care for our fellow man.
