Has anyone watched it yet? I watched it a few weeks ago, and have to say that Michael Moore has possibly made me question the Health Care industry sadly. Although I hate Michael Moore with a passion, this movie is worth a seeing. If you have seen, what do you think, and what are your changed and or unchanged views on the health care system?

That movie is HILARIOUS.

Anywho, when they talked about France, I was amazed. I cannot believe people in this country seriously believe a system like that would be sooo failing and all the doctors would have sucky lives when like, obviously it works. Have they looked around beyond our borders? That was ridiculous.

I was planning to move to Europe ASAP anyway. _smile.gif

Yeah, hope you enjoy not realizing that it evens out cause you don't have to pay for things like that. You think everyone in Europe is way poorer than us or something? Not the case.

... so if it evens out, what's the point? At least with the current system you have a choice and more specialists.

Yeah I just watched it yesterday. I think it's better than all the movies he's done before, because there's not really a twist to this one and I can't see how people will diss him about it. But they'll probably invent their feeble ways. The comparisons he made between the US, Canada and Europe were unexpected and funny... Not to mention that Cuba appears to have a better healthcare system than the US. I feel bad for Americans.


Played like a fool.

And with their system, you have more security and a smaller rich-poor divide. And why exactly are there less specialists? Have statistics for that?
