I've never actually seen a MM documentary but I do know that healthcare here is kind of messed up.
I am a college student and have loans taken out from the government in order to be able to pay for it. I live in an apartment with my girlfriend and work a part time job to pay bills. When I am out of classes for the summer I work more hours that add up to be so close to full time it is not even funny. The POS place I work purposely works anyone who is not in a management position just under full time hours all so they don't gain benifits. While I think it is good to have more options in healthcare I do not support this kind of healthcare when common people get screwed over by their corporate employers and are unable to gain these benifits even though they basically give these corporations full time hours.
Going back to where I said I have loans to pay for college brings up another big issue. I have to pay back this government money that I am using to get an education and be a better use to society with. At the same time the government just gives away free money and housing to the laziest people in society. "Lets give HUD housing and foodstamps and medicare to the lazy people who work part time at Burger King and have been knocked up a few times". I try and better myself and will have a tab waiting for me when I graduate. These "Burger King" workers refuse to take higer paying/management position all because they will lose their governmental benifets if they do. The government is basically rewarding these people for being lazy and not improving themselves.
If you want to see a truly great documentary watch "The Corporation". I don't remember who did the movie but it is a pretty unknown movie that you probably would never find at a local video store. A teacher of mine owns it and showed it to a class I was in one semester. That one really got me steamed up. I had always known that corporations where pretty evil but this just really shows what they are about. I remember in one part there was some big corporation that had bought out a huge piece of land in some third world country that included the water refinery. They were charging the locals an unbelievable amount of money for water and basically conglomerating all of it. That isn't the worst part though. There was even footage of this next part. One day it was raining and the people where gathering the rain water. The company would not let them collect rainwater and had the police out beating people for doing so. Now that is the most inhuman thing I had ever seen in my life. Trying to say that you own nature itself.
