In a way, that might be why the movie is so effective. He actually doesn't propose any specific system, except that it's "free". He shows how the US system fails even the insured, and how the systems in Canada, England, France and Cuba take care of their people.
I went into the movie with my skepticism on high alert, and clearly there are huge holes in the piece, as there are with any propagandist documentary.
What I meant in my original post is that in this movie, as opposed to his previous two, he's not overtly attacking any deeply held beliefs of people who call themselves conservatives. He lifts Hilary up, for example, and then dashes her against the rocks moments later. It's a persuasive piece, and if enough people see it, there are going to be some very interesting debates.
