Editorial Reviews

After exploring the predominance of violence in American culture in Bowling for Columbine and taking a critical look at the September 11th attacks in Fahrenheit 9/11, activist filmmaker Michael Moore turns his attentions toward the topic of health care in the United States in this documentary that weighs the plight of the uninsured (and the insured who must deal with abuse from insurance companies) against the record-breaking profits of the pharmaceutical industry. Moore interviews a number of people who have been left broke by medical bills even though they were fully insured, and explains how the corporate drive for profits has left numerous people in financial and medical disarray. After hearing that detainees in Guantanamo have access to free health care, Moore assembles a group of World Trade Center rescue workers to travel to Cuba in order to get the medical help they need for ailments they incurred in 2001. Moore's film debuted at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide All Movie Guide

December 10, 2007: I have never seen another Michael Moore film, so I was expecting something very extreme, possibly ludicrous, based on all the negative press I'd heard. But I was very pleasantly surprised. As a student of health policy, he addressed a lot of concerns that experts have been voicing as well. Of course there is bias and sarcasm, etc., but his facts ARE real. If you go to Michael Moore's website, he has a fact check link, where he gives all his sources so that you can read them yourself. I am not familiar with all of them, but a lot of his statistics are from the WHO, the CDC and IOM, all very reputable sources. Many of these papers I have been assigned to read for class. So before you shoot down all his points, I'd like to see some research to the contrary (other than from a partisan think tank). Our health care system has serious problems-- that much is indisputable. So what exactly are people trying to defend here?
