All I can say is that my Canadian relatives always come to the U.S. for major medical procedures... and many minor ones, too.

MM is a SiCKO...

[BallyBill]

A better title for it would be Pinko. . .

We've got a Winner!

Check this out. It will make you even sicker. The Cuba MM chose NOT to show in the movie: http://www.therealcuba.com/Page10.htm

“Such an overarching theme would be absurdly funny if it weren’t so deadly dangerous–if Moore were not, in effect, playing with fire. But our society is now teeming with people who are ready to take Moore’s kind of nonsense completely to heart, conditioned and taught as they have been since birth that they have a “right” to everything they think they deserve, just by being here. “

this is a sad fact that makes me worry about the future.

What’s the difference between Michael Moore’s movies and Nazi propaganda films? ....the Nazi films had better direction and cinematography.

From start to end, SiCKO, the latest “documentary” from notorious writer and filmmaker Michael Moore, is a stunning example of the Big Lie.

A lie told often enough becomes the truth. ~Vladimir Lenin

[TChris]

SiCKO...is not a documentary at all, but a naked propaganda exercise on behalf of full-bore socialism. A better title for it would be Pinko...

That pretty well sums it up then!

Oh, one anecdote. I work with a woman who grew up in Mexico. She is the oldest child and when she was born, her parents went to the private hospital in order to get the very best care available (as just about any first-time parents would given the choice).

However, when her brother was born a couple of years later, they instead opted for the hospital paid for by the government so they could purchase a TV rather than pay for the private hospital.

To me, that is the ultimate example of why socialized medicine will never work.

I thought it was an autobiography.

One bottom line, so to speak, is particularly telling: Moore, who is obese, would most likely be denied a number of common health care procedures and treatments in one of his favored government-controlled socialist medicine systems, the U.K.'s National Health Service (NHS), because of his excessive weight. Recently, the cash-strapped NHS actually started limiting or prohibiting therapies for residents who are fat or who smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol.

Michael Moore cqan afford to travel to where-ever to get medical treatment he may be denied under a socialist healthcare scheme.

I will not comment on this film because I will never see it. I did see Roger and Me and it was rated R because Moore put in a scene where rabbits were being skinned. Now that was sick. It was sick not because I was repulsed by such a thing, I was raised in a rural setting and cleaning game was no big deal. But it was sick because skinning a rabbit is NOT entertaining or enlightening. Moore does have an audience which says more about his audience that it does Moore. I do not know or associate with anyone who goes to Moore’s films, but if I knew someone who said they went to this creep’s films on purpose, then that would be our final conversation.

, I've charted with dismay the gathering momentum towards a government takeover of the field. I wasn't prepared, however, for the extent of the other freebies Moore wants to flow unhindered from the government on down.

Sadly .. Most Americans don't know what Socialism really means

They are think these things will be free .. with no strings attached

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Almost shockingly devoid of fact and context, it's instead based on highly selective, emotionally-driven, and deeply flawed anecdotes, strung together by writer-director-producer Moore's trademark folksy, soft-spoken, whimsical personal narrative.

This can be used to describe any and all of Moore's films.

Despite Moore’s obvious biases and hyperbole, the For Profit HMO’s take some well-deserved lumps. I detest Mickey Moore but consider this. If it is unethical for doctors to over-provide care, is it not more unethical for HMO’s to under-provide care?
