Typical MM "documentary" - I horked a copy online last week and watched it.
Lots of hyperbole, completely inadequate analysis, incomplete facts, and everything is obviously portrayed to bolster his pre-existing opinions. Anyone who has seen a MM film should not be surprised.
I'm not suggesting valid points were not raised - they certainly were. However, the film would have been much more convincing and universally accepted were the mouthpiece/producer somebody else.
One thing I was glad to see in the flick - more satisfied Canadian input. A few years ago, I was drinking the anti-socialized medicine KoolAid, frequently using our neighbors to the north as examples of how it sucks. One would hear of long waits and insufficient/inadequate services, and the occasional "story" of the Canadian heading south of the border to get quality care for something critical.
I've pretty much changed my opinion on the above...having met numerous Canadians over the last couple of years through a boating group, including several senior citizens with regular medical needs, they are pretty universal in their praise of the system. None of the concerns I'd heard of down here were confirmed.
