Michael Moore, that big lovable goof. Calling him a documentary filmmaker is a stretch, as he usually crafts his films to present his liberal leanings. But to dismiss the facts and ideas that he presents is foolish.
Here he takes on the flaws of healthcare in the US, specifically how we're botching it and others around the globe seem to be getting it right. Again, I'm not saying that everything presented in this film be taken as fact, or even come from an independent view, but the stories that are told and the images and ideas being presented are hard to ignore (in fact many hit you right in the face). My guess is that you'll be able to personally relate somewhere along the line.
Really, cutting through all the bull, what I took from this flick was one major point: that our capitalist healthcare system makes us put a pricetag on human life. We should and could aspire to something more than what we currently have.
