Wow, remind me not to move back to the US! :-P

I don't think his portrait of how great it is to live in France is very accurate... I seem to recall them having a lot of riots and unemployment... and of course he doesn't talk about the tax rates in any of these countries... and his arguments rely a lot on anecdotes rather than hard facts (one thing i tend to dislike in a lot of people making outlandish claims about alternative medicine, etc)...

but if you ignore all that and focus on the main issue - that our health care system screws a lot of people and big business lobbyists have too much influence over our political process... its hard to argue with that (unless you're taking money from health care lobbyists!)

ha. yeah i think health insurance is definitely one of those things you assume works fine until you actually try to use it... :-P one other thing i didn't necessarily like was Moore's use of stories about people who were denied experimental treatments... i can't say I find it unreasonable that they're not willing to fund that. (just because the family is desperate enough to try anything doesn't mean the insurance company has to pay for anything and everything that is being researched but not yet proven. if its an experimental procedure, whoever's paying for the research should pay for the procedure.
