Why would you think the French live better lives? That's a silly assumption to make. You use the Human Development Index... but the Human development index has numerous problems.

Also it's not a "small" chance of improvement. Intergenerational mobility is actually quite good in the US.

58% of people in the US who were born into the lowest quartile move up.

Sicko made France look pretty sweet

I'm gonna guess that's sarcasm, as you seem like the kind of person that knows that Michael Moore doesn't make real documentries so much as "entertainment documentries."

It's true - the message he tries to convey is typically undermined by his style as a documentarian.

I still like the idea of socialized medicine and education, though, as long as it's sustainable. If I had reason to believe that Michael Moore's romanticization was true to life for France's average citizen, I'd consider learning French.
