I'm a fan of Michael Moore's work.  Though I'll concede that he sometimes goes a bit far (e.g, his portrayal of pre-war Iraq in Farenheit 9/11 was a bit heavy-handed), he generally has the right point (e.g., the Iraq War has been a pointless waste of several hundred thousand lives and half a trillion dollars).  I respect him for his courage; he was

The absurdity of the state's healthcare system is so bizarre that you have to make a Sanity Check after dealing with its reps (Ia, R'lyeh). I love how you're supposed to be pregnant/have kids if you want health insurance, as if you don't legally count as a person until you spawn progeny. "You say you're in pain? I see. Do you have any kids? No? Well, that means you're not really in pain. Non-parents can't feel pain, you see..."

I think you're probably right about Slovenia.
