Paraula clau Health Care Reform

Documental que desvela les profundes injustícies de l'assistència sanitària als Estats Units. Coneixerem les interioritats d'un sistema de salut corrupte i abusiu, basat en els serveis mèdics que presten les mútues privades, que deixa sense atenció mèdica gairebé 50 milions de ciutadans i que, alhora, maltracta els assegurats escatimant-los les prestacions i la cobertura a què tenen dret. Michael Moore ens presenta diversos exemples dramàtics i els compara amb el tracte que reben els ciutadans que resideixen a països com Canadà, França, el Regne Unit o fins i tot Cuba, que gaudeixen d'un sistema de cobertura sanitària pública gratuïta.
