Definitely worth seeing though, but its not an upbeat film so don't go if you want to leave the theater feeling cheered up hehe. If he is true I hope this movie catalyzes some movement for change in the US.

I think a non-profit health care system would be disastrous. Doctors would not spend four years in college, four years in med school, and work four years of residency just to make no money. The "doctors" of that world would probably be the equivalent of an undereducated nurse. What would be perfect and what is realistically possible are two different things. I appreciate your idea that people should help others out of the goodness of their hearts, but it takes a lot of hard work for one to excel in the medical field. Those diligent people that have what it takes to stay the course and complete their training, earn the right to make the big bucks. Would I like to see free health care? Hell yes! But I know that 99% of the time you get what you pay for. Would you do your job to your best ability for free? For that matter, would you do your job at all for free? I don't think so.
Whatever you want to think, just know that the USA's health care system has a higher customer satisfaction index than any other health system in the world.
