Director Michael Francis Moore’s idea of making the film began in 1999, when he was making the TV show "Truth Pursuit", and the opening story was about how a man named Chris Donahue got into a dispute with an insurance company In China, when he was on the verge of death, he was unable to perform the operation for a long time because the insurance company refused to pay for his "pancreatic transplantation" insurance. The focus of their dispute was whether the "organ transplantation" was in the terms of the insurance contract. , Donahue had already paid medical insurance for 7 years at Humana Insurance Company, but was rejected at the moment of life and death on the grounds that "does not include life-saving surgery". The two sides remained in a stalemate in this way, and Donahue’s condition became more and more serious, until Michael Francis Moore intervened in the incident with the camera, and reported the whole process in the first episode of "The Pursuit of Truth". A mocking tone created a fake funeral, which forced Humana to take the initiative to solve the problem. Seeing Donahue’s health getting better day by day, Michael Francis Moore suddenly had an idea. He thought of making a documentary about medical insurance. Only 10 people need to be interviewed. Each person will occupy about 10 minutes in it. He thinks If it can save 10 lives, it will be worth it.

Let doctors all over the world concentrate on medical treatment! May the business atmosphere stay away from medical treatment, and I am really tired of talking to patients about money when treating a disease.

can not watch anymore. Who said America is good! ! Even if Michael Moore's personal style is strong, pan-real documentaries, out-of-context editing, eschewing exaggeration to only talk about the necessary parts, and too many subjective tendencies and emotional actions, it seems that these are not tolerated by traditional documentaries. But in such a society with unprecedented proliferation of informatization, people should think more about the information they receive, instead of blindly asking the communicator to take full responsibility. )
