universal healthcare would destroy insurance company selling. pharmaceutical companies could still operate, they just won't make as much money as before, they'll still get paid.

i was talking to a british immigrant who was in one of my classes at night school. i asked him about the health care system and everything, as i brought this movie up to the table over a meal and beer at applebee's

he said that a lot of rich people usually have private doctors, they don't have to use the government's health care if they don't want to... also that that doctors are not just commited to working for the big cheese and supporting universal healthcare.

that doesn't sound so SOCIALiST now does it? If a doctor wants to make more cash and use his pratice for private business he still can. Moore didn't shed light on this in the film, i can only ask why he didn't cause it kinda helps to fight for his point and waters down the governmental control over health care that people fear so much about.
