I'm watching Michael Moore's "Sicko"....
Me | June 23, 2009 | Me

Posted on 06/23/2009 7:50:05 PM PDT by St. Louis Conservative

I can't believe what a blatant pro-communist piece of agitprop propaganda. Moore exploited victims of 9/11 to paint a rosy face on Cuba's healthcare system, amongst other socialized schemes.

In Moore's world, all "profits" are evil and constantly hit on the "we're all in this together" theme, meaning we are obligated to pay for everyone's "free" healthcare.

A question for Michael Moore: who is going to pay to develop brand new drugs when healthcare is "free"? Who is going to pay for multimillion dollar new MRI machines? Who is going to pay for doctors to spend a quarter of a million dollars on school and 10 years of their life to train for their profession?

Moore shamelessly tried to paint Cuba as some kind of tropical paradise.

You said to another FReeper — I hope you didn’t pay for it.

Hey Mike why dont you just STFU?? You’ve made Millions exploiting people far more than any CEO or Wall Street tycoon probably ever did....WITH FAR LESS EDUCATION OR TALENT!!! Did you ever build a buisness that made other people money? NO! Just made your self money....

ALL PROFITS ARE BAD(when they are made by the “little” people).

Being entertained is a right! Lot’s of people can’t afford to go to the movies, or to the symphony, or to plays etc. it’s not right that ‘the rich’ get the best seats at sporting events, concerts, and at the Metropolitan Opera. We need ‘entertainment reform’. Entertainers make too much money. We should nationalize the movie industry. Seats at the Met should be decided by lottery. We need fairness. The government should decide how much money an actor can charge to appear in a movie. The government should decide how much money it costs for popcorn at the movie theater. We need entertainment redistribution to make entertainment fair.

I know. I've watched many big release movies days before they were even released in theaters. :p

I probably wouldn't watch one of Moore's propaganda films, but if I was going to, I certainly wouldn't pay anything for it.

Look at the mess Detroit is in - a place that “luved” Moore’s ideas. He’s almost too lame to bother commenting on...

I wouldn't watch his garbage if you paid me to watch it.

Yeah, I can’t persuade myself to watch one of Michael Moore’s films... I tried one time a long time ago and I had to quit watching after a few minutes. It was just too grating on me... LOL...

I’d love to see Michael Moore try to get a heart bypass in Cuba.

People are so damn stupid.

does anyone actually think if they had cancer in Cuba that they would receive the finest chemotherapy and radiation treatment that science has to offer?

My head is ready to explode

To be fair to Moore, Detroit ruined itself back when he was a little kid. His movie about the auto industry was little more than a juvenile attack, offering no solutions. The auto industry dug its own grave a long time ago.

THAT is what is wrong with the US health care system.

All the available doctors are expensive and highly trained.
We need lots of 4 year cram medical schools for people straight out of high school to mass produce lots of mediocre doctors. Then, one can chose their quality/price of care.

Thanks to Michael Moore I think that Roger Smith was one of the greatest Americans who ever lived.

There won’t be new MRIs. There won’t be money allocated to R&D. We’ll be expected to adopt a new attitude - stop expecting too much health care. The Daschle approach
