Wish the stories told in this weren’t true, but they are…and only a small piece of the tragedy that is the American health care system
Sad realities of the American health care system. Say what you want about Micheal Moore but he knew the topics to hit on to leave an impact.
Eye opener on how our healthcare system works.. Unfortunately still true to this day.
Moore mercilessly and effectively lambasts the weaknesses of the American healthcare system. Perhaps slightly one-sided, but very effective.
He definitely plays up everything a bit and is quite bias but he still makes an entertaining as hell and interesting documentary.
Good exposé of health insurance companies
Good doc about the state of healthcare and health insurance in the 2000s
truly disturbing. watched it in class with people who don’t know about the us healthcare system and their reactions were so sad
Well done investigative journalism, but outdated since Obamacare
Amazing documentary, moving and insightful. Highlights the problems with different health service approaches and inequality for the poor
