The Missing Pieces of Sicko

The movie as a whole displays a viewpoint that American healthcare is horrible and that European/Canadian Universal healthcare is the god of all healthcare. People can go on vacations from sickness for as long as they want until they feel like going back to work. Who wouldn't want that? And obviously for any country that would just throw their patients out onto the street and drive away still in the hospital gown must be a very bad place.
The movie presents a very negative viewpoint of healthcare in the USA without touching on any positive aspects of what is being done here or offering any sort of concrete solutions to fix it except that universal healthcare is the only way. Is it that simple?
It doesn't show the consequences of universal healthcare either, only that it is again the god of all healthcare and everyone is happy in their country because of it. I mean they pay you money when you get sick! I want to move there too!
