I watched a movie SICKO made by Michael Francis Moore.
This movie criticized American medical system and it was very stimulative.
The most impressive scene for me was when Michael Moore and his friends who are ill went to Cuba and they were treated cheap medicine.
In Japan, we don't have good impression for Cuba.
However, in this movie Cuba looked like heaven in earth where medical fee is much cheaper than America.
In Japan, there is medical insurance, but this doesn't cover taking vaccination and a medical examination.
I think Japan locate in between America and Cuba.

マイケルムーア監督のシッコを見ました。
アメリカの医療制度を批判した作品ですが結構衝撃的な内容でした。
一番印象に残った場面はマイケル監督と病気の友人たちがキューバに行って格安で医療を受ける場面です。
日本でもキューバは良いイメージではありません。
ですが、アメリカに比べて医療費が格段に安いキューバは映画の中で地上の楽園のように見えました。
日本は医療保険がありますが、予防接種や健康診断では保険が適用されません。
日本はキューバとアメリカの中間にあるのだと思いました。

I watched the movie "Sicko"./ シッコを見た
I watched the movie "Sicko", made by Michael Francis Moore.
or you can say "I watched a movie, Sicko...". If you make it part of one part of a sentence, "movie "Sicko", it is a specific movie, so it's "The movie "Sicko"...", but if you make the title 'Sicko' and the word 'movie' in two different parts of the sentence, 'movie' is not specific until you say its title. "I saw a movie. It was called "Sicko". The movie was good."
Michael Moore does not use his middle name on movies. Some people do, like Francis Ford Coppola, who made "The Godfather".
This movie criticized the American medical system and it was very stimulating.
stimulative is used for things like "Government spending has a stimulative effect on the economy"
The most impressive scene for me was when Michael Moore and his friends who were ill went to Cuba and they got inexpensive medical care.
cheap can sound bad - a cheap car can be one that didn't cost much but is falling apart.
In Japan, we don't have a good impression about Cuba.
However, in this movie Cuba looked like heaven on earth, where medical fees are much cheaper than in America.
In Japan, there is medical insurance, but this doesn't cover getting vaccinations and a medical examination.
I think Japan is located between America and Cuba in medical care.
Some medicine cost 30percent.
There is a medical insurance in Japan, but Japanese medicine is not inexpensive.

Just to add on to the other person's remark, stimulative is an adjective, and you want something that's a noun. However, I want to bring your attention to something else.
While "This movie" is correct, it is more natural to say "The movie" after informing us that the movie you want to talk about is SICKO; there is no other movie that you could be talking about at this point.

More technicalities: "Medication" = 治療薬, "Medicine" = 医学, although the latter gets commonly misused to mean "medication" anyways.
However, in the movie Cuba looked like heaven on Earth, where medical fees are much cheaper than in America.
"Earth" (with a capital E) = 地球, "earth" (without) = 土
(But still capitalize E at the start of the sentence even if you are using the latter)
In Japan, there is medical insurance, but it doesn't cover getting vaccinations or medical examinations.
"This" in the sentence sounds unnatural (but technically correct), so I would use "it". As corrected above, It sort of implies what it doesn't cover was getting both vaccinations and examinations, but it covers one or the other.
The USA is really, really bad when it comes to medical care. While I haven't seen the movie (or know much about the medical care system in Cuba), I would like to suggest that if you are sick and can travel to a country to get professional specialized medical care, I would bet on Malaysia.
I know some Asian countries supply good medical care like Malaysia, Singapore...
However, Japanese medical care is good but expensive.
