Michael Moore's new documentary, Sicko, challenges U.S. healthcare. Yet in the coverage of the film, some interesting facts about Moore appear to be ignored. These facts are addressed on page 53 of the bestselling book by Peter Schweizer, Do As I Say (Not As I Do):
[Moore's] IRS forms make for interesting reading. Over the past five years, Moore's "savings account" has included such evil pharmaceutical and medical companies as Pfizer, Merck, Genzyme, Elan PLC, Eli Lilly, Becton Dickinson, and Boston Scientific. "Being screwed by your HMO and ill-served by pharmaceutical companies is a shared American experience," he recently told the Detroit News ... He may savage HMOs in his film Sicko, but he has also owned shares of Pharmacia Corporation and Tenet Healthcare. He may have liked their price-to-earnings ratio.
Note: The first edition of Schweizer's book is dated November 2005.
If any reviewers have mentioned the above facts in their reviews, I've missed it. If you've found one, maybe you can post the link to the review below.
What sort of car does Moore drive (or get chauffeured around in)? I can’t quite picture him fitting into one of those itty bitty gets-great-gas-mileage cars . . . I expect there’s enough hypocrisy in his life to fill a whole book.
M & M had an armed bodyguard too, IIRC. I read that after Columbine came out. LOL.
Moore also doesn’t allow his employees to unionize and he treats them like $hit. What is it with liberals condemning everyone else for things that THEY themselves do? Michael Moore is a 300lb. sack of hypertensive pre-diabetic elevated cholesterol,impotent lying crap. A sack of feces that relies on American medicine to come up with the drugs that keep him alive and will treat him when he requires his CABG in a few years. I guarantee he won’t just wait his turn in line like his fellow Canadians.
Hey, careful there!
We have no real proof that he's impotent.
