Moore lies his fat clip editing ass off so it's not like you should be trusting what he does or says beyond 50/50

CNN says the facts check out mostly. http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/06/28/sicko.fact.check/index.html#

Keep in mind that in the American healthcare industry (and everything else here) you get what you pay for. If you can afford it, you can have the best doctors in the world work on your and none other. If you can't afford it... unless you've got a gunshot wound and rushed into a public county hospital, your probably shit out of luck.

Even though most county hospitals are known for bad conditions... Parkland Hospital here in Dallas actually is the best place in the world to be if you've just been shot, and unfortunately that wasn't good enough for Kennedy. While I usually go to Baylor Hospital for eye doctors, general etc... if I got shot by some grim misfortune, I'd actually want to go to Parkland.

But yea... the facts actually mostly check out, the poor don't have much choice in their care, and the rich have access to every doctor at any time of day. The gap between the two classes gets larger every year.

What about insurance? Even u are insured i would be worrying that if i went to the hospital they would find a way to not cover me.

See thats what i like about it here, if u have to go to the doctors or hospital u go, theres no thinking about how much it will cost u, or your insurance rates or whatever,

I was just pondering this today (while driving past a gas station). I'm surprised that there isn't a revolt.
