DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Rich Moore USA

His documentary 'Sicko' (2007) directly compares the American healthcare system with those of Canada, Britain, France, and Cuba, making it the most explicit cinematic exploration of this theme.

 Ken Loach United Kingdom

His films like 'I, Daniel Blake' (2016) critique the British welfare and healthcare system while implicitly contrasting it with international approaches to social medicine.
