This is very Michael Moore style, he gets attention. the picture below is classic from the theater. Of course he’s not looking for our donations but rather making a point as he did with Sicko, which brought a lot of attention and an awareness, but sadly has not had a strong enough impact on how we deal with healthcare.
We still have “Common and Customary Insurance Companies” with little or no change on business models, that have the purse strings on a lot of the money.
