Sure we can have "free" healthcare... it just means the money that you would pay to Blue Cross (or wherever) would instead go to additional taxes. And then poor people would be complaining that the rich people get even more tax refunds and its not fair.When I was in Germany, I dislocated my shoulder and went to the hospital to have it put back in. They gave me some pills and I asked my cousin (who is fluent in German) what they were, and the doctor told him it was just a multi-vitamin to help the healing. Awesome. They pay shitloads of taxes, but thank god their Flintstones chewable vitamins are nice and inexpensive!I can't believe anyone would pay to see this slanted propaganda crap.

Saw it tonight, and I thought it was well done.Very odd how it gave so little coverage to the pharmaceutical industry, though (even as they talked about the cost difference in medications between here and places with socialized medicine). Guess that could be an entirely separate film.
