SICKO - What Hospital Bills?

Liz Miller
Posted May 23, 2007

After the controversy generated by Fahrenheit 9/11, I assumed that Michael Moore was playing it safe by focusing his next polemic on one of America's most obvious flaws, its ramshackle health care system. But although the topic isn't as politically charged as terrorism, this clip makes it clear that he'll never be afraid of aiming for the gut, and then punching over and over again. Moore's ability to be simultaneously naive and smug has become a little annoying over the years, and a history of suspect fact-checking haunts his current work. But when it comes to illustrating the differences between British and American health care, one can't help but agree that he has a point.
