I know that Michael Moore was interested in it.

1. I haven't heard of it in the reviews I read. I guess we will
have to see the movie to know. I do know when movies get made, especially documentaries, that most of it doesn't end up in the movie. He has to tell a story to get his point across and maybe he didn't need Andy's particular story because he had many others. I think from what I read he was concentrating more on vets that were getting shafted by our system.

2. From what I've heard, its more about people who HAVE insurance getting shafted
so Andy's story wouldn't have quite fit in. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't in there. I haven't heard any reference to it in any reviews I've listened to or read.
