Reviewing a film through previews (and the help of Rush Limbaugh) is so much easier-and cheaper!

The US 37th/Cuba 39th issue has, by now, been done to the point of over-saturation, clarkjohnsen, so your big 'gotcha' punchline is a bit time-worn.

Oddly, if you would actually see the film, you might note that he clearly does show the correct rankings-even though where we stand on the list relative to Cuba isn't germane to the point he's trying to make. He at no time says Cuba's health care system is superior to ours, only that there are facets of their system that clearly are better. I know, facts can be troubling, especially when they don't coincide with your political view. You might look to the current administration for ways to handle that pesky little problem.

And if your dramatic closing sentence makes you feel smug because our healthcare system is rated two places higher than friggin' Cuba, you might want to lay off that hillbilly heroin that seems to be so popular with the arch-consevative crowd.
