My Views on this video:

This excerpt from the "Awful Truth" is a very sad reality about rampant greed and the healthcare system. Moore proved that profit and denial of claims are in the best interest of Wall Street investors of which big pharma and insurance companies have a fiduciary responsibility to. Americas sweeping loss of quality jobs and opportunity combined with the dollar decline has actually made Socialist nations like France, Canada and England look more appealing due to their free health care, and educational opportunities. America many years ago provided affordable healthcare for all free of corporate intervention. Today those squandered opportunities left us all uninsured, underinsured and afraid to get sick. Ralph Nader a consumer advocate stated "American doctors kill 57,000 people each year" due to malpractice and or accidents. To put this into perspective that is the total death toll of the Vietnam war each year. As an added note I do not agree with all of Moore's suggestions but I do think he raises awareness in a satirical and dramatic way that leads us to debate important healthcare issues.
