Goofs:
Miscellaneous: The Italian version consistently mistranslates "bone marrow" as "spinal cord" (in Italian the two terms are more similar). moreQuotes:
Michael Moore: I'm wondering why you expect your fellow Canadians, who don't have your problem, why should they, through their tax dollars, have to pay for a problem you have.Canadian: Because we would do the same for them. It's just the way it's always been, and so we hope it'll always be.
Michael Moore: Right. But if you just had to pay for your problem, and don't pay for everybody else's problem, just take care of yourself.
Canadian: Well, there are lots of people who aren't in a position to be able to do that. And somebody has to look out for them.

Please, cast aside your prejudices and watch this film with an open mind. I personally do not like Michael Moore whatsoever, but this film is mind blowing. I hope that that including quotes from the movie is not considered spoiling it.

Ehrlichman : "We have now narrowed down the vice president's problems on this thing to one issue, and that is whether we should include these Health Maintenance Organizations like Edgar Kaiser's Permenente thing." President Nixon : "Let me ask you, you know I'm not too keen on any of these damn medical programs." Ehrlichman : " This is a private enterprise one." Nixon : "Well, that appeals to me." Ehrlichman : " Edgar Kaiser is running this permanente thing for profit. And the reason he can do it... I had Edgar Kaiser come in, and talk to me about this... And I went into some depth... All the incentives are toward less medical care, because the less care they give them, the more money they make." Nixon : "Fine." Ehrlichman : " And the incentives run the right way." Nixon : "Not bad."
