I haven't seen the movie yet. But I thin I'll wait for it to comeout on DVD. I hate going to the movies to be informed. I watched 911 at the movies, and it didn't feel right. Entertain me at the movies. Inform me elsewhere.

I saw the movie this past Friday and it really makes you think. I used to work for an HMO and I can tell you that this stuff happens. Its sad to see people work so hard all of their lives and after they retire, they can't afford to pay for their hospital and doctor bills. Something has to change.

Even though i can't speak for all HMOs, on my first day of work at the HMO, they told me that their primary goal is to save the company money. I've seen people denied life saving treatments because the cost for the procedure was too high. It was really sad.

The way I look at it, this IS the other side. We have lived the healthcare and insurance industries' sides for years.

I am so glad I saw this movie! It opened my eyes in so many ways. Got me wanting to move to London or France.

If you're not feeling up to a trip to the theater, the documentary is floating around on google movies for available download.
