Moore swats it out the park again. This film really nails the healthcare issue in this country, even if it falters on some of the gory details. Moore's knack for in-your-face journalism really pulls at the emotional and critical nerve centers, making all but impossible for the viewer to have some kind of response.

*Spoilers*


The scenes in Cuba were especially enlightening. We really get a chance to see that this is not an evil empire and that on some levels, socialism can work. But the pivotal scene is where the 9/11 workers meet the Cuban firefighters. That is one of the most powerful scenes in a documentary ever. So incredible to think that it really isn't about governments, but people, reinforcing my own views of "countries" as a whole and to remember that it's not the people we loathe, but their leaders.

Solid work.
