Hi Mary My wife & I just came home from seeing it too. I haven't quite processed the whole experience yet but I'm glad to see that he put an exposed fave of how the US health system has been treating it's people. I laughed then started to cry seeing that others were in the same boat as me, I didn't want that much company. 35 yrs working construction/hard labor & I can't even afford the medication I need because my wife's insurance company plus my medicare won't authorize some of what I need. Just like the movie, pre-existing conditions or it's not on our prefered list of meds or it's not approved or not pre-approved. Like the ambulance bill in the movie not being covered because it wasn't pre-approved, my family's covered by Blue Cross & my son's ambulance bill still isn't covered even though we've battled with then since before Xmass. Where's a gun when you really need one? Like when you're in the hospital trying to get well & the insurance tells you you're not covere for this one. Thank God I had great medical coverage when I was Going through my transplants (other didn't), I just wish we could've kept it so I could afford what SS now pays me. Not much after I take out $400 a month for med's. It was a shock to see what nations that aren't as rich as the US do for their folks, maybe we'd better start a revolution. Taxation without ,,,,,,,,
It was well done, thanks Michael Moore, I'm now near sick death!!
