Health care. Health care. Health care.

You are right that this issue is important, and this film does a very good job at scaring people into thinking a certain way. However, the film missed a critical opportunity to improve the dialogue surrounding the budgetary deficit -- health care. If our health care system were as efficient as the systems in other industrialized nations, and if programs like Medicare/Medicaid could take advantage of these lowered costs, then the deficit problem would virtually disappear. The Center for Economic and Policy Research has a nice graphic that demonstrates this well.
