Documentary or Fantasy?


A good documentary should offer an unbiased look at its topic. This seems more a political infomercial that belongs on late-night television between an ad for a folding fishing pole (since it is "fishing" for suckers) and a phone chat ad (so the viewer can call someone who cares about this film).

Is it any more or less biased than movies done by Michael Moore?
If a person is lucky enough to live in an area where there are many choices and options in health care, this makes a lot of sense. To those who have few choices, it seems more like a fantasy.
BOTTOM LINE; what we are doing right now is NOT good health care. It is crisis intervention at a high cost.
I have seen Moore's movie, "Sicko", and for the American people, THIS movie makes a lot more sense.

It makes a lot of sense to me. If only we taught kids at school how to eat healthy we would all have more freedom of choice and dramatically less healthcare cost. Same with exercise, it's not about competing and beating your neighbor or beating your own marks, the aim should be to add exercise as part of your lifestyle. And this is healthcare 101, but no one profits from people having better health. So instead, the average American drinks 45 gallons of soda per year, gets diabetes, tests, pills, surgery, etc. Problem solving is not profitable.

just the lunch options at the elementary school level is alarming. hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, and nachos are the regular choices. and for most families, their options dont become healthier once they go home. it comes down to the simple formula of 1. eat less 2. do more. but with all the delicious, cheap, quick foods out there and all the entertainment while sitting, i really dont see us getting thinner as a country. maybe decreasing the alarming rate with which we become obese, but maybe i am just being pessimistic.
