Sicko: The other side

Michael Moore points fingers, and doesn’t allow the accused to defend themselves.

The Washington Post agrees:

He never interviews actual veterans of the system: doctors, nurses, administrators — only the victims.

Thus we get a bottom-up, not a top-down or a full-frontal view of the creaking system. The film progresses from anecdote to anecdote along predictable lines: American health coverage = BAD, European health coverage = GOOD. He leaves out the boring parts, forgetting that as far as policy-intense health-care issues are concerned, the only things that matter are the boring parts.
