Michael Moore vuelve a la carga con un documental que denuncia el sistema sanitario norteamericano; un sistema que, al no existir la sanidad universal, excluye a 50 millones de norteamericanos (que, o bien no tienen seguro de salud privado, o no pueden pagárselo) y que se basa en compañías privadas que buscan principalmente beneficios económicos y en aseguradoras que pagan bonos a los empleados que más rentabilidad les proporcionan al denegar prestaciones y reclamaciones a los asegurados.
Fahrenheit 9/11
Editor

Bush en el año 2000 para seguir su ascenso de mediocre petrolero texano a presidente de Estados Unidos.
