I really don't like how people berate those who voice their opinions against an institution by saying they "hate America." That is, in itself, ignorant. Just because someone hates the government, or particular members of the government who have gained too much power and misuse it, doesn't mean they hate America. Do they hate the American people? Do they hate the decent people who stop whatever they are doing in the to help someone out in the street? Do they hate the soil itself that lies under our feet? No. They just hate the people who ended up in charge because of a series of small mistakes that added up. When a government does not take care of its people, it is the responsibility of the people to instigate change. Change is the natural order of life. Governments should fear their people, not the other way around.

It's funny how all the negaitve comments are either insulting Moore for his physical appearance or telling him just to get out of the country. Clearly someone who criticises the way a country is run should just f*ck off rather than actually try to instigate change.

So he skews his information to get his point across, the point is to get some ideas out there. For people to actually question what the government tells them. Why don't the people who hate Moore so much actually post some hard facts as to how he's misleading 'ignorant' viewers rather than reducing the argument to name calling? Simple answer is they 'love' their country too much to actually question what's going on around them.

Of course, we all know, those on the right never ever skew the truth to suit them selves *coughcoughwepons ofmassdestructioncoughcough*

Michael Moore is skewed, no doubt. That is the way it goes. You say things your way and see how many people you get to believe it. But, beneath all the exagerations, there is truth. He didn't run around telling us that Canadians poop golden eggs or that the French can fly. He told us the best of the best about those countries and others health care systems, glossing over the bad. Fact of the matter is, what we have isn't working, and we need to change the way we are doing this before it kills someone. Oh, wait, ............too late.

Heard that this should have been called Dumb-o. But of course Michael Moore isn't exactly an Einstein.

Actually Michael Moore is a big fat crybaby who mangles the truth. But dumb people don't know any better; Michael Moore knows this and exploits it accordingly. (On the other hand perhaps dumb people actually like having their ignorance exploited.)

Only in america could an obese tele-tubby like Michael Moore have any "credibility" whatsoever.

Do you people not realize that Michael Moore is known for having horrible credibility? His idea of a "documentary" is his skews of the truth. I love how the man hates America & yet he continues to live here.

Amazing. I was pissed to be an American. This movie is a wake up call to all of us who think our lives here are all sunshine and roses. America has serious health care issues, and this movie details them to a tee. Forget all the debate regarding facts and figures. The fact that there is even one person in this movie that was denied health care is the bigger issue.

only gave 0.5, because i cant rate as 0. As always, rambling about non-existant points (lies WAY too much). I think after watching this movie, my IQ dropped 10 points.... absolutely horrible (to think that america is going to take health advice from a fat guy that never claims responsibility for his own actions)

Best MM movie by far! Although many Right-wing nut jobs criticize MM for being biased, it is without warrant because he is an entertainer now with journalism roots. But an entertainer first, with no obligation to be objective. When you make a movie you have to cut some things out and add some comedy. As opposed to laying down a boring litany of pros and cons for a controversial issue. If we wanted that we could watch politicians debate. MM is a terrific director and has impecable timing with his movies. He does a fine job of debunking a lot of Conservative myths about ours and other nation's health care systems. No matter what your political views are, you have to admit we have a fucking problem with our health care system when we are ranked 36 out of 180 or so countries in the world! Profit and Maximizing Health Care do not mix.

I saw this film last night and Michael Moore has done it again although it's not quite as strong a movie as his previous two. This time he takes on the American health care system and asks the question, "Why isn't the United States looking after it's own people?" Why not, indeed! I truly believe that insurance and pharmaceutical companies run the world and they're incredibly dangerous organizations. Every time I watch a Michael Moore movie I marvel at how scary the US government is and how it actually makes instilling fear in the American people a priority to keep them oppressed, depresed and suppressed. However, it is surprisingly funny in many instances and does raise some serious questions and stir up emotions. It totally made me want to pack up and move to France

Poor Americans.
Hopefully when they watch this, they'll see that more countries are doing what they turned down.

Universal Health Care.

Socialist Group? or just common sense?

What an incredible movie.
Makes me thankful for being Canadian.
Makes me sorry for Americans who dont know how uncovered they are by their HMOs.
