Nobody would believe the problems
of our healthcare system if Moore exaggerated them the way he exaggerated about
the death of that 1st grader in Flint, MI. People I meet still think the
mother of the 6 year-old that shot her is a saint whose child was well cared
for.

Stories Needed for Michael Moore's Next Documentary
If Moore shines a camera on the U.S. health care system, the truth
couldn't be left on the cutting room floor. The problems that
plague the health system is too big to be bleeped out, even by Mr.
Moore.

past mockumentories. He hasn't made a real documentory since
