The first problem with anything produced by the mind of Michael Moore is this: he is a habitual liar and you cannot trust anything that he says. He constants bends facts, shows interviews and other video footage completely out of context and, when it suits him, completely fabricates "evidence."

"Bowling for Columbine" has been refuted by Larry Elder in his documentary "Michael and Me" as well as on the website http://www.hardylaw.net/Truth_About_Bowling.html.

"Fahrenheit 911" was refuted in several documentaries, including "Fahren-hype 911."

The truth is that while America's system of medical care is troubled in some ways, it is still the finest system in the world. Canadians who have money flock across the border to be treated by American doctors rather than wait for their "free" health care system. In the UK, people wait for months for critical care procedures; in America, we would sue the health care system that made us wait that long (okay, maybe that's a topic for another documentary--our "sue-happy" society). When Fidel Castro was dying, he didn't rely on Cuban health care to save him, he brought in doctors from Spain!

Another important truth is that none of these health care systems that Moore touts are free. Let's face it, there is nothing free in this world. The citizens of those countries pay for their sub-standard, shoddy health care through confiscatory tax rates--and we would do the same if we ever ended up with Hillary-care, Romney-care, Obama-care, or (God help us!) Edwards-care. Ask yourself if you really want to hand over your health, well-being, and life to a bunch of bureaucrats, you know, the same type of people in charge of the DMV.

If Michael Moore hates this country and the way it's run so much (as evidenced by this movie as well as his others), I would welcome him to move elsewhere (and to take Rosie O'Donald, George Clooney, and all the other America-hating celebs with him). He rails against this country and then lives like a crown-prince in the upper-west side in NYC, investing in the stock market (including Halliburton), and probably having the very best of private doctors.

Oh, and it's very amusing to have a relative of Che Guevara talk about freedom. That man was an evil murderer who would have been on par with Hitler or Stalin if he hadn't suddenly developed a head wound.
