What a crock! No preventive health care? Where did you get that idea?

Most Americans have insurance. Much of it is private insurance provided by the companies people work for. Many more people are covered under Medicaid and Medicare--government health care from the State and Federal government. Some people don't have health care, that is true. Those people have fallen through the cracks because they are not poor enough for governement health care, or they simply do not work for a company that provides health care for the worker and the family.
Do us a favor and watch the film first and the post may make more sense to you. The film has nothing to do with the people without insurance but rather, those that do. The film is a propaganda tool and disingenously presented but it has a point that at it's core is very true of a endemically sick system even for those who are insured.
