* ReverseSlipperySlopeFallacy: Moore tries to allay worries about government-operated healthcare by pointing out that America has already implemented government-operated schools and a government-operated mail service. You might say that this part of the slope has already been traveled in the abundance of countries which already have government-operated healthcare, but although that is relevant to the government healthcare argument it is not relevant to the question of whether Michael Moore himself committed the fallacy.

* IWasJustJoking: Moore learns France has a free service where households can receive daily visits from a government employee who will give childcare tips. Moore jokingly supposes that they'll do the laundry while they're at it... ultimately leading to a GilliganCut of an incredulous Moore observing one of said caretakers doing laundry.

!!This film provides examples of:
* BilingualDialogue: Moore does this with the French, who can understand his English.
* CitizenshipMarriage: The ending combines the citizenship and insurance variations by imploring American viewers to marry Canadians in order to take advantage of their universal health care system, even setting up [[http://hookacanuck.com/ a spoof website]] (which seems to be undergoing {{Defictionalization}}) to the effect.
* ReverseSlipperySlopeFallacy: Moore tries to allay worries about government-operated healthcare by pointing out that America has already implemented government-operated schools and a government-operated mail service. You might say that this part of the slope has already been traveled in the abundance of countries which already have government-operated healthcare, but although that is relevant to the government healthcare argument it is not relevant to the question of whether Michael Moore himself committed the fallacy.
* YouWontFeelAThing: One of the tag lines for the film (a documentary about health care in the US and around the world) is "this may hurt a little". Promotional materials also use "get well soon!"
