Everyone should rent a copy, tivo a showing, check a copy out from the library, or find a source online to watch this film. A true eye-opener on so many levels.

It's one of those movies that makes you so mad for so many reasons, but also makes you see what is possible.

That's all. Just try to watch it if you can.
;)

6. I only watched it some four or five months ago
Since a major medical misdiagnosis cost my husband his health for a while,
it was too painful to even think of watching. The battles fought by us against his insurance care providers, the continual denial of what they had done, the need to battle the hospital, those paying for his insurance, the pharmacy, the doctors, the insurance people, etc - I could not think of watching others going through that.

Must say it was done beautifully though. Michael Moore has a superb gift for getting his message across.
