    Michael Moore, 'nuff said!

Please. Michael Moore is as credible as Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck. If the rest of this movie is as well researched as the segment on France's healthcare, you can just save yourself some aggravation and skip it entirely because Moore's work is as credible as O'Reilly's famous quote about the tides. As for the rampant anti-americanism expressed by some people, I'm shocked to see a crowd which is usually pretty savvy and intelligent actually take part in such sweeping generalizations.

"In the US, if you have money, you can be above the law"... <facepalm>


Agreed totally. BTW, if I'm not wrong bail is an anglosaxon habit, so it's in UK too (see e.g. the Assange case). Whike UK is one of its kind, I tend to consider it Europe :-) And winning processes by having powerful and expensive lawyers is something that I see happening all around the world. At last, for what concerns comparative ads... I think they're a very good thing. For years, I've seen ads such as "this soap washes to the best white than others", a claim that can't be supported of course. Comparative ads were forbidden until a few year ago. Since when they have been allowed, I've seen just a few telco companies compare rates. Nothing else. The problem here is that my country is the exact opposite to competition and probably nobody wants to break the existing equilibrium. This is a very ill sign. Thus I tend to like countries where competition is pushed.
