Well the message generally is more about he dysfunction of the system than the solutions. Denzel Washington has a little boy that needs a heart transplant. It costs $200k and his insurance says it won't cover it. So he gets a gun and holds a hospital hostage until they put his son on the donor list.

Throughout there are little conversations he has with hostages and doctors there where the truth behind the system is revealed. Like how his son's condition might have been known by his doctor but because the HMO pays the doctor a bonus he didn't test for it. Another point that in the ER they have to stabalize people but if they don't have the cash they're out the door.

Stuff like that. James Woods plays a really good bastard doctor apologist.
