...and yet their health care system is great. I'd know, I lived there, and there's plenty of data to back it up.

The ISSUE is your health care system in the states is terrible and needs to be fixed by either changing to a system like Canada, Norway, or Denmark who have a great system in place. Or Look to other countires that have a health care system in place like the one you Americans love (I.E switzerland) and learn from it. Michael Moore is not the issue and I dont understand why you're talking about him. I simply used the youtube clip as an example of a publicly funded system that works great and is superior to the American system. 

There's a funny thing about statistics... often times people use imperefect data without filtering out extranious variables.

 

Including the above of course... since they use a quicker regression method that equalizes "Fatal injury rate" rather then spend a decade looking at  exactly how the age of the people who died. (Hence why some countries life expectancy actually drops in the second chart, they have exceedingly low accidental fatale injury rates/murder/accident rates.)

Point is though... the numbers used are full of flaws.
