Well i have always enjoyed all previous movies by Michael Moore. But earlier ones (Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 911) although they were very fantastic and raise burning questions, were not directly related to me. Yes it is bit selfish of me. Anyhow this movie is about medical system in US, and this one shows how insurance companies are doing evil and crooked things, along with the cooperation of doctors and goverment in general.
I have always heard that falling sick in America is a sin. It can drain your hard earned savings very quickly. In the documentary they show that how price of some medicine in US is around 200 dollars whereas for the similar medicine it is around 5 cents in Cuba. I recently had a personal experience that on recommendation of doctor i bought one relieving medicine for my wife. I have insurance from aetna. At the time of buying i didn't pay anything as it is billed to my insurance company. Later on when i recieved the bill from insurance company, i was horrored to find that the cost of those 60 small pills were more than $2000. Which the insurance has negotiated price of $96. So i was responsible for $96. I never expected the cost of those medicine to be more than $20 or so. Then the first thought that came to my mind is that if i didn't had insurance i would have to pay that astronomical sum of $2000. God save people with no insurance. I hope soon there is soon some reformation in this whole process.
Now returning back to movie, it is a must watch movie for all of us.
