Just to put things into perspective. Many people (including Moore, as it seems) still believe that health care in France is "free". It isn't "free". It isn't paid by Santa Claus or cute little fairies. We pay for it. We simply pay for it through other means than in the USA.
Practically, we pay for it through the public debt. IE, we say to our children : "here is the bill". We shift the blame and the responsabilities on them.
I don't say that system X is better than system Y. I'm no specialist, I don't know. However, to think that things are "free" in France is a really naive point of view. France is not Neverland.
I know that health care is not free anywhere but it can be handled so much better than it is America. It is just sickening how much time and money is being wasted here on red tape and bureaucracy and, worse of all, greed. I know that no system is perfect, but ours so horribly organized that it is sickening, embarrassing and literally dangerous for many who cannot afford it.

(Communism is the same religion. They simply shifted money from the "Good" box to the "Evil" box. :D)
