Read the editorial I posted above. In the documentary SiCKO, for example, Michael Moore uses the British/French/Canadian systems to demonstrate relatively routine prodedures (if I recall, when talking about the UK, he used the maternal wards), and the American system to demonstrate extreme/breaking-edge/experimental/expensive/risky procedures (I remember him talking about some man who had a cancer of some kind, and a small child who wanted break-neck technology to aid in hearing).
An equally scrupulous person could go film maternal wards in the US, and cancer treatment in the UK, and create the exact same documentary with the complete reverse point.
