I remember being surprised at how surprising the topic of Sicko was to so many in the audience when we saw it. I thought most of it was common knowledge, but it wasn't.
IMO, the whole industry has major issues, from the insurance companies, to the hospital & care providers, to the pharmaceutical & device companies, to the physicians. I don't know a perfect solution, even a single-payer systems has a bureaucracy and coverage is denied.
