I take issue with 'the suit' that stated "...Canadians, up to 20%, buy supplemental insurance...".
That was in SICKO. Michael clearly covered that fact when he spoke with his relatives regarding what they have to go through to come to visit him in the USA. They, like many Canadians, purchase supplemental insurance when they come to the USA because in one act of ill health or an accident their lives could be ruined for the cost they would have to pay outside of Canada.
That is outrageous from an ethical point of view that Mr. Gupta would recontextualize that fact by 'a suit' to make it appear as though this is new information not disclosed in SICKO. That is the issue I have with the Gupta reporting of American health care. It takes a stab at discrediting a very well organized and thoughtful documentary that advocates better and free care for all Americans. We don't want what we have now in the USA. We never did. But, we sure are forced to live with it !
