As much as I despise Mickey's squeaky, "Why not ask yourself this?" tone throughout every single one of his movies, I found merit in this movie - far more than any of his previous works. Sure, it's slow. You hear stories of tons of people all over the country, extreme case studies of each, begging the question, "Why in the hell don't we have universal health care when it works so well in other countries?" Better yet, "Why do I get worried every time I get sick?" The movie doesn't present answers, nor does it intend to. It's an outrage machine, as stated by Atul Gawande, and thus succeeds in a genuinely holistic Michael Moore kind of way. 8.4/10.
