He spoke at length about how he loves it when during his shoots he ends up proving his premise wrong. In "Bowling For Columbine" it happened when he realized that Canada has 10 million households and 7 million guns (mostly rifles and shotguns), and yet barely more than 100 murders by gun per year. He had to completely change his movie's original premise (that all they had to do was restrict guns and the problems would go away), in favor of determining what about being American made people want to shoot each other.
While filming Sicko, he knew he couldn't just do a movie about how American health care sucks. After 20 minutes, he said, the audience would just be bored, since most of them would already buy the premise.
So instead, he says that his movie will look more at how Americans are "wired differently" than the rest of the world. In Canada, he said, we are raised with the concept of "we're all in this boat together", and that if one of us suffers, we collectively suffer a little bit. In America, he says, it's always been "pull yourself up by your bootstraps", and "I got mine, fuck you".
