You Never know what to expect when you sit down to watch a Michael Moore documentary. The only thing you can guarantee is that it's controversial and some will like it, while others will down right despise it. So what better way to start the movie off with than showing the documentary is not about - the millions of people in the U.S. without healthcare. It's about the millions that do have healthcare.
Moore intent is to take you on a trip to show you how corrupt the privatized healthcare system is. How the insurance companies will try and find any loop hole or way possible to get out of paying any money. The less money spent...means more money for the company. It's the type of documentary the just may leave you in disgust.
Michael Moore's narration takes you as far as why the american government is afraid of public healthcare (oh no! It's socialism, our society shall crumble) and showing that it can work by taking us to Canada, England, and France. He continued his story by introducing us to some 9/11 volunteer rescue workers who are now suffering for their acts of heroism, but are not qualified for the benefits simply because they were volunteers. So what does Moore do, He takes them to Cuba (which is illegal for Americans). As for the outcome, I guess you'll just have to watch to find out.
It is by far the best of Moore's documentaries to date, my favourite so far. He leaves with questions, wondering what America's future holds.
I liked this film and recommend it to those who enjoy documentaries even if you're not a moore fan.
Rated PG-13 for brief strong language.
