Eventually he sails a bunch of sick Americans to Cuba where they receive socialized healthcare.

    I never saw this one before. Better now than never I guess. Does it still hold up post all the ACA reforms and such?

      I watched it for the first time last night and it seems to hold up well enough to serve its purpose, at least in the broad strokes of "for profit healthcare/insurance is bad". Probably not a whole lot of new/surprising information for people who hang out here, but could be useful to share with anyone who is still afraid of/opposed to socialized medicine.

      There are a few ironic bits from the UK talking about how people wouldn't tolerate reductions to the NHS. And they rightfully shit on Kaiser Permanente a bit, which I thought was funny since they are the lowest claim denial rate on that chart that's been circulating recently, so yeah...doomer
