not a film about healthcare but a film about humanity.

the one quote in this film that stood out for me was, "if you can find money to kill people, then you can find money to help people". whatever your political leanings or your opinion on healthcare, the true core message of this film was, that as a society we should help those who can't help themselves, because, if you were in that position you would hope somebody would help you. the footage of people being dumped on the street because they couldn't pay their hospital bill made me more angry and sad than anything.

"Humanity" has nothing to do with totalitarian dictatorships like Cuba, nor in demanding the government monopolize healthcare.

Lieutenantsalt, you're litterally on every thread bashing this movie and Michael Moore. I have a feeling you might be George Bush haha. If you honestly think healthcare in this country is good then you should have your head examined. I truly hope you never get so ill that you have to get serious health care. We shouldn't allow people to die because of money. Everyone has an opinion until it hits home to the. We need change NOW.

Yes, shame on me for offering factual rebuttal to shameless propaganda which misrepresents Cuba's horrid health sustem and oppressive, enforced poverty.

But don't let that stop you drom shouting tired ad hominems and insisting that I need to "get my head examined" because I don't believe in oppressing, killing and depriving people of basi s just so goosesteppers and Useful Idiots like you can continue to pretend that Communist dictatorship works.
