My dad required open heart surgery. At that time, there was a several year waiting list in Canada. It was so bad, people were coming to the US and paying for their own surgeries out of pocket.<br/><br/>I needed my gallbladder removed at a time when there were long waiting lists in Canada as well. While not life threatening, the pain was awful. PS. My dad required open heart surgery. At that time, there was a several year waiting list in Canada.

Moore sets himself up as an “everyman” when he simply isn’t. To say that he wouldn’t splurge on the Four Seasons while being chauffeured around is pure hypocrisy.

As his movie, it’s lunacy. While some people in this country do receive inferior care, most receive better care than anywhere in the world. It’s why rich people FROM EVERY COUNTRY come here for their important medical treatment.

Moore's a filmaker whose in business to make money. I thought we were in favor of capitalism. Are we against doctors because they make money saving lives. He's just drawing attention to the completely loony healthcare arrangements we have in this country. They cost twice as much as everywhere else in the Western world, don't cover about 45 million people, produce inferior outcomes in a lot of cases, and are making our manufacturing industry uncompetitive. This whole comment belongs in the "shoot the messenger" category I'm afraid. So what. Moore’s a filmaker whose in business to make money. I thought we were in favor of capitalism.
