the piece he did on French healthcare where they have doctors cruising around in cars waiting to take home calls was quite an eye opener. Doesn't sound cost effective to me. I didn't actually see the movie so its hard to say for sure, but judging by your brief description and the known facts it would seem that one of the following is true. 1 - Moore outright lied about this. (I don't actually think this one is true) 2 - Moore showed something that did/does happen but isn't constant or typical. (This one is my guess, although there might be a bit of #3 as well.) 3 - France's health care really isn't a lot cheaper, just better at hiding cost, or imposing costs indirectly. Can you describe that part of the movie in more detail. Maybe there is some other explanation that I would think of if I knew more detail about what he showed.
