Pilger has done a great job, but don't forget he is biased and does not have all the answers.
Healthcare obviously is a very sensitive and personal topic.
Do we believe in the parent looking after the child, the family unit, the extended family, the community? The documentary challenges the success and efficacy of private healthcare delivery in the UK but does use some horror cases from the USA.
He successfully reveals New Labour movement (Tony Blair) in early 2000s attempted to privatize the UK National Health Service (NHS) and this trend took another turn in the coalition (Conservative and Liberal Democrats) following the financial crisis in 2008 with labour politician Alan Milburn being appointed as Social-Mobility Tsar to accelerate change in the NHS (or the so-called cuts). He gives a very interesting example of how the Hitchingbrooke hospital becomes the first privatized hospital within the NHS thanks to Liberal Democrat Vince Cable.
In the US or UK, we simply haven't come up with the correct solution for healthcare. The documentary is an attempt to block the conjuncture which is in efficient with deteriorating clinical outcomes. Whether you are from the left or right this will leave you thinking that more thinking has to be done to solve the problem.
