The film is very well done. Moore comments that while most Americans have health insurance, there are still almost 50 million who do not, and even those who do have it are not assured their medical care will be paid for, since the HMO industry is set up to make money, there are literally thousands of cases in which people are denied payment on their medical claims for trivial, often rediculous reasons.
The best part of the film is when Moore goes to three different western nations, Canada, England, and France, and basically shows that not only do the citizens of these nations pay NOTHING for health services, but they also enjoy lower infant mortality rates and longer lifespans than Americans. Also, he comments how the great nation of Britan hasn't slipped into a "socialist dictatorship" even though they have had socialized medicine since the end of WW2.
Unfortunately that we live in a political landscape which dismisses Moore's films as "propaganda" without giving them a chance
