No, that was from the beginning of the film in the U.S. The UK has the NHS which is also universal health care (you pay nothing in the hospital except maybe for candy bars and the NHS dispensing fee for medications - 6.95 flat for any amount you need). Michael Moore asked Doctors from other countries throughout the film of what they thought about turning patients away or giving them the choice of what finger to sow back on due to the bill and they were all horrified.
