Documentary look at health care in the United States as provided by profit-oriented health maintenance organizations (HMOs) compared to free, universal care in Canada, Cuba, the U.K., and France. Moore contrasts U.S. media reports on Canadian care with the experiences of Canadians in hospitals and clinics there. He interviews patients and doctors in the U.K. about cost, quality, and salaries. He examines why Nixon promoted HMOs in 1971, and why the Clintons' reform effort failed in the 1990s. He talks to U.S. ex-pats in Paris about French services, and he takes three 9/11 clean-up volunteers, who developed respiratory problems, to Cuba for care. He asks of Americans, "Who are we?"
This is a documentary by Michael Moore.

The point is closing in fast when we have to shackle the corporate element - and pharmaceutical conglomerates in particular. This means sending corporate criminals to prison consistently, making corporations pay equitable taxes, destroying kartels and putting fair maximums on treatment prices. Medical companies are here to serve, not to make a profit over the misery of human beings. Civilized democratic nations may even have to resort to outlawing the old corporate shareholder model for medical businesses. We may need a new business model.

If we recieved better social services in return for our taxes, I wouldn't mind them, but that is not the case. If these countries can do this, why can't the U.S.? We should demand free good quality health care and the right to vote for our president like a true democratic society should.
