I've never had health care in a country other than the US so I have no experience to test it by.
I assume moore is presenting things in the best possible light, but the statistics and information seemed pretty striking.
The scene in cuba with the 9/11 woman sobbing to discover that the same medicine that cost $120 in the US cost 5 cents in cuba. And the cheering of the 9/11 workers by the hospital staff after the tests and treatments seemed over the top and probably contrived.
The scenes were from canada, the uk, and france - then the stuff from cuba.
I hate doctors and the health system in the US, so I imagine I'm biased.
The horror stories of the people who did have insurance, but were denied care for reasons that seemed entirely contrived and illegitimate, were pretty crazy. Crazy bad, crazy sad, crazy frightening.
