一向作风犀利的美国纪录片导演迈克•摩尔（Michael Moore 饰）此次将矛头对准美国引以为豪的医疗保险体制，他采访了因无医保饱受伤病折磨的美国民众，揭露了美国医疗保健行业的黑幕，对美国负责药品审批的食品和药物管理局、负责监督医疗保健行业的国会议员进行了毫不留情的批评。通过大量个案以及和其他资本主义国家甚至社会主义国家的对比，向观者展示了所谓完善的美国医疗保健行业当前存在的种种弊端。 本片荣获美国电影电视剪接师协会最佳纪录片剪辑奖、2008北美广播影评人协会奖最佳纪录片奖、2007芝加哥电影评论协会奖最佳纪录片奖、2007拉斯韦加斯电影评论组织奖最佳纪录片奖、2008纽约电影评论圈奖最佳纪录片奖等，并与导演之前两部作品《克伦拜恩的保龄》、《华氏911》并称为“高调三部曲”。Documentary look at health care in the United States as provided by profit-oriented health maintenance organizations (HMOs) compared to free, universal care in Canada, the U.K., and France. Moore contrasts U.S. media reports on Canadian care with the experiences of Canadians in hospitals and clinics there. He interviews patients and doctors in the U.K. about cost, quality, and salaries. He examines why Nixon promoted HMOs in 1971, and why the Clintons' reform effort failed in the 1990s. He talks to U.S. ex-pats in Paris about French services, and he takes three 9/11 clean-up volunteers, who developed respiratory problems, to Cuba for care. He asks of Americans, "Who are we?"
