Hate it or love it...

It is easy to see how a well-constructed documentary can make even a very educated population question a system that has had its share of scrutiny. What makes Moore’s documentary even more powerful is its ability to tug at our heartstrings and make the personal become fodder for resentment. Of course there is an inclination to question our system, to harbor anger for insurance company fat cats or even move across the pond. What remains to be seen however, is the other side of the story. People may have their uncles or friends that have moved to Europe and found salvation in the healthcare system, and of course it is warranted to question just how happy they are, but there is an indubitable appreciation for healthcare among the majority of foreign healthcare recipients. Moore’s questioning nature is not one to scoff at or place on a pedestal; it is simply another resource that we as professionals must examine and utilize for or against our arguments.
