What happens

The Free Market Cure is a series of four short documentary films, each of which tells a separate story about the failure of socialized medicine in each of the subjects' lives. The films focus on the "single-payer" system as seen in Canada, the likes of which have been advocated by other filmmakers, such as Michael Moore in his film Sicko. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
