Michael Moore, documentarist, polemicist, provocateur, pest, scold, nag, and wag, takes on the American health-care system and finds it sorely lacking, particularly as compared, in turn, to that of Canada, the U.K., France, and even Cuba. Anecdotal, rambling, repetitive, unbalanced (not to say mentally), the film contains few real surprises, albeit a number of archival treasures: John Ehrlichman, on Oval Office tape, selling Nixon on the capitalist wisdom of HMOs, for example, or Ronald Reagan railing against socialized medicine on commercial vinyl. No matter how many nits may be picked, the central thesis seems morally irrefutable: that health care and profit do not belong in bed together. (2007) — Duncan Shepherd
