I tried to watch this movie before, but I turned it off after a few minutes. I'm glad that I had another opportunity to watch it in it's entirety. Now I can see why this movie sparked so much criticism amongst it's viewers. I'll be the first to admit that the US health care system is not near perfection, but this movie paints a portrait as though it is completely broken. Really? All the people mentioned in the film had truly sad stories, but I'm sure that if I looked into specific cases in other countries that I would be able to find similar tragic stories, if not identical. MM sets out to show how the US system falls short compared to other 1st world countries and even goes as far to show how some under developed countries provide superior medical care. Personally, I don't think that MM does justice to the US system. He never goes out and interviews the hundreds of thousands of Americans who are satisfied and happy with our current system. I feel that if MM really wanted to drive home the point that the US medical care system needs change that he would be willing to offer both sides of the story instead of force feeding the audience an emotionally packed one-sided view.
