If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

Ok i watched it last night, and omg it made me so mad.... politicis, money, etc... they talked about insurance here in US, and they want workers at the health insurance firms to decline people, the more they decline people the bonus $$ they get. GRRR that made me mad. They decline people for pre existing conditions, etc ... well we can't help it if we have conditions especially from birth on. Talked about health cares in Canada, British, etc.. and its all free .. and how one person had to move to Canada just because of health care .. So, if you watch it, be prepared to get pizzed off..

That is a big reason I have not watched the movie. There is so much corruption in insurance and politics you can not belief what we are told. The parts we hear are how much money the insurance companies appear to lose every year especially if you own stock in one. We hear a lot about how big the bonuses are for higher level management of those companies though. thanks for the review.

The healthcare in Canada and other places are not free I think people are taxed an amount and their healthcare is covered.
Hopefully someone from there will comment on it.

Healthcare in Alberta is paid by the month to Alberta Healthcare. There is a 'single' premium and 'family' premium....Nothing is free.

Actually many people from Canada are heading to US to get medical care. While the movies have many merits, the health care that we receive in Canada is not portrayed right in the movie IMO. We pay high taxes toward our universal health care which is completely broken IMO.

Yeah that is what I hear.. about Canadians paying higher taxes.. and I also hear that they have much longer waiting times to see specialists, etc ....
Since my employer dropped Group Health, I have became more aware of how health insurance works, etc.. and i don't like it... its like I took Group Health for granted and i didnt know how much I loved GH, will miss it when it got yanked from me .... bec I have been with GH for 35 years .... but I hope to get GH back one day ... bec GH doesn't rip you off like Aetna does...

Like I was saying Michael Moore can entertain with his movies but don't take the information contained in them as the gospel truth. He has an extreme liberal agenda, and he really wants the government to run health care. If going through the disability process is any indication of how well the government will handle it, no thank you. This is coming from someone who doesn't have any insurance.

I have not seen the movie, but would like to out of curiosity. Your comments remind me of the movie "The Incredibles" when Mr. Incredible worked at the insurance company and helped out the elderly lady.
I also realize Micheal Moore has extreme liberal political leanings... for this reason I have not seen any of his movies to date. Do not feel the movies necesarily are unbiased in their production.
