Michael Moore’s latest film, “Sicko”, which was released in US theaters this past summer, gave viewing audiences an in-your-face look at the state of the American healthcare system. And then, after we were shown the atrocities of the U.S. system, Michael Moore took us on a trip around the world to see what other countries’ healthcare systems were like. Canada and the United Kingdom seemed to be pretty well off, and France appeared to have it even better. But there was another country that Moore visited that did not make it into the final cut of the film because the studio thought that the footage would be too “unbelievable”.
That country Michael Moore visited was Norway, a country which has the world’s lowest murder rate. It also boasts one of the world’s best healthcare systems, and a very progressive approach to things like healthcare and incarceration. Here’s a clip of the deleted scene.

I cant realy see whats so unbelivable about the scene? Maybe its because I live in Norway, all I think is unbelivable, is that the rest of the world isnt like us…
