I saw it several months ago and have worked in the medical field here for eighteen years. Everything I saw was pretty accurate. It made me ashamed of our system. I listened to to a radio show on National Public Radio last week that pointed out there are a lot of Americans going to other countries for surgeries, even things like kidney & liver transplants at a fraction of the cost. We're talking less than a tenth of the cost in the U.S.

A part of the film was in Europe, France and England. I know the systems there, the basic what he showed in the film was right. But it is not that way in all the countries, but the basic in Europe is the same. In principal, everyone is insured, sick or healthy. Part of the social system. As Dutch, my insurance works also in Spain and other countries. Fact is also, (what was not in the movie) when I become in an hospital in a cheaper country, my insurance forced me to stay there for the complete treatment and let me come back when I am completely done. What he showed from the States. The samples he showed were picked out, to show how bad it is. I can look through that. BBut how do you think about the movie, or is it not in the cinema's there. Who has seen it (it is on the internet to download, in the newsgroups) and what are the reactions about you from the States?
