This film opened up my eyes to the harsh reality of the health system in America. One woman had a brain tumor and the doctors at the health insurance said she was fine. But other Doctors found out she did have a tumor, but sadly it was to late and she died. Another womans story broke my heart because her husband was very ill and he wasn't eligible for health insurance so he died and left a wife and two kids behind.We think our health service is bad but imagine when your freedom to live is is someone elses hands and you can't have it. A lot of people in my filmclub didn't really care about what was happening in America but it made me think about how lucky we are to have the NHS. Yes,people may go complaining about our health service but at least our lives are not at risk. If you watch this film it will open your mind to others and its worth it to watch other films from Michael Moore as he is a talented movie producer. People don't like documentaries as they are often braded "Boring" and "for nerds" but Michael Moore takes Documentaries and turns them into works of art that we can all watch without sleeping. I think from my reveiw you can understand why I gave it five stars.
