   Fantastic review? I call it biased load of bullshit, composed by a moron.

   “As a proud socialist, the director appears to feel that there are few problems in life that can’t be solved by government regulation (that would be the same government that’s already given us the U.S. Postal Service and the Department of Motor Vehicles)” Let’s see, the USPS is dirt cheap, efficient, and without it there would be no rural mail delivery. The DMV’s suck because they’re state run, and thus it’s *not* the same government. Does this guy have a fucking clue what he’s talking about?

   “Hillary Clinton (he actually blurts out the word “sexy!” in describing her in the movie), tried to create a government-controlled health care system, her failed attempt to do so helped deliver the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives into Republican control for the next dozen years” What? The congress was already Republican and became less and less so as time wore on– how is that related to Clinton’s piss-poor attempt at healthcare reform?

   The descriptions of the failures of the Canadian system are trifling in comparison to the failures of the American system. Socialized healthcare is far from perfect, but it’s also far better than what we’ve got now. And, as he says, the Canadian system is getting better and better.

   And, Moore cuts together his interviews to make his point? He uses imagery to make things seem worse than they are? Isn’t that what films of this sort are supposed to do?
