Basically talks about how poor America treats its people.
We are ranked #37 on a list of our health care systems. (cuba is #39, I believe)
HMO was only created to gain higher funds by give poorer treatment.
The drugs companies buy the government to pass bills.
The government lies about the true nature of the bills.
Volunteers from the clean up of the WTC are not given any help for conditions sustained during there work.
Other countries sell the same drugs for a lot cheaper than ours.
Drug companies mark up the cost of the raw materials of active ingredients, in there drugs, 2000++%.
One hospital would pay a cab to go drop off people unable to pay there bill on the street.

Although I do not like Moore, based on his other works, and although, like his other works, he generalizes certain things or is misleading he still makes a good point. Which is basically how can one of the super powers of the world treat it's people so poorly.
