It makes me proud to be British watching that film. What an incredibly screwed up system there is over in the USA. The way it works is totally wrong. I believe there is enough money to treat every man, woman and child in developed countries. I’m talking about non-treatment of sick people and non-payment from the insurance companies. The system sucks!

Our system is very very far from being perfect. There are long waiting lists; the hospitals are old, disease is rife, overcrowding is the norm. The methods of treatments are all symptom based, which WE know is all wrong. But…..but at least our boys don’t turn away care to the sick and injured. Seriously that shocked me big style. Mr Moore painted a very bad picture of the American way.

I do think he over emphasised big time about how GREAT the British system is, it’s crap, but compared to the USA….it is paradise. It is true that it is all free and the drugs are ultra cheap, treatment is not refused, although waiting lists are long for non-life threatening things. One thing I do know is the French system is how he portrayed it. The French system is much better than the UK, but then again, France is very socialistic in there politics.

Next time i will not be so critical of our health system, the NHS. (Now I never thought I’d think that!)

Mr Moore is difficult to like, but his films are remarkable.
