amid Moore's hyped ones was when he interviewed a French doctor who was paid an annual salary by the national health program, went to his house and asked him about his lifestyle. He was obviously not living in poverty and his life seemed very content and without the stress many physicians in this country seem to have.
He raved about the ability to make critical decisions for his patients and not be second guessed by insurance companies.
I can't remember which car it was he drove but it was one we'd all drool over. I remember vaguely the comment that he could comfortably afford that vehicle but probably not have a whole garage full of them like American doctors expected. It put it all in perspective.
