Summary

Michael Moore interviews Americans who have been denied treatment by the United States health care insurance companies -- companies who sacrifice essential health services in order to maximize profits. Sheds light on the how complicated it can become for communities and individuals, and the sacrifices they have made when they are denied health care coverage. Traveling to Canada, England, France and Cuba -- where free universal health care is the norm -- he forces the question: Why can't this happen in the U.S.?
