To put it plainly, this is the most accessible and emotionally moving film Michael Moore has yet created. Sure, there are the expected digs both at the current administration and his personal detractors, and in fact the film closes on this note, highlighting the donation he made to the webmaster of a Michael Moore hate site. But the facts speak for themselves. 18,000 people die each year in this country because they are not allowed health care due to a lack of insurance. And this lack of insurance isn’t simply because they’re not paying for coverage, but is rather a result of an institutional practice which denies or revokes insurance approval in the interests of profitability. Illustrating that these people wouldn’t need to die if they lived in a country like, say, Cuba or France is a verifiable fact, and Moore’s political views cannot change that fact one way or another.

I also saw it and it really is a good film. Bravo Mr. Moore Bravo..
