Movies – Here is the trailer for Michael Moore's latest documentary, Sicko, which focuses on the United States healthcare system
I can hardly wait to see this movie in theaters. GW deserves to get the best health care this country has to offer. He should also have to pay for it the way most Americans do...with three months salary!
Bush deserves to get the health care he *offers* this country. AND to pay 3 months of his salary for it!
This is going to be a good movie! This guy is tireless.
Right - because the US had the best and least expensive health care system in the world before GWB took over. Must be his fault because you don't agree with his foreign policy lack of judgement.
Idiot.
So the survivors of the WTC destruction who are suffering with lung ailments as a result of GWB's lack of assistance should be left to suffer. The thousands of people returning from Iraq without limbs or lives are acceptable casualties of war (one which we agree is an idiotic war). Who is the idiot, tigger?
When I use my weedeater at home I use goggles and hearing protection, How come they did not? How come they did not even ask for it? It also takes a little personal accountability and responsibility. If they did not get the right tools for the right job (personal protection) which btw is their responsibility how is it anyone else's fault?
The goggles and hearing protection you use are supplied by the same guy who wants the job done, in your case, you.
Even if they did ask for it, it would probably take somme kind of requisition, departmental approval, perhaps public bids, and finally, some kinds of kickbacks, for which New York City is infamous for.
If they were not outright given the right tools for the job and not told of the possible health hazards by officials, whose fault is it.
Imagine if there was a problem at your house, or place of business, and the police did not shoot, or try to enter because of possibly toxic household chemicals, or dangerous appliances.
This is not a partisan issue, you only show your ignorance of the issue when you do that. Please dont make this about Bush you "everything is Bush's fault" liberals out there. The WORST thing you can do is to try to be partisan about this if you are really interested in change, that will only slow things down. Our health care was this way WAY before Bush came into office and has lasted through many administrations.....Democrat and Republican.
Interesting though that I still dont see one liberal here saying what I am saying. Some of you guys that I know aren't out on the "fringe" left should be slamming these types of comments and voting them down like the rest of us.
THIS IS NOT A PARTISAN ISSUE!!
Here I thought the issue at hand was a movie. See, Michael Moore's movie has not been released in the US yet. So unless you got a private screening or saw it at the Cannes Film Festival, you have not seen nor heard how the movie presents this issue.
Having said that, health care is a universal issue. We all need it. At some point in our lives, we will all demand it. Paying for it becomes the issue. Insurance companies in the trailer are portrayed as ghoulish in that they make their money off the injuries and illnesses of the people.
NoSpin is indeed right. I am one of those liberals about whom he speaks. I am here to admit, this is not a partisan issue. Both Republicans and Democrats have been painfully slow to fix the system. Both have accepted contributions from lobbyists. We will just have to wait to see what the movie says for further comment.
Conservative do not want you to know that many countries including Cuba have a better system. It's quite obvious but the neocons need a refresher course in intelligence before accepting what is.
Oh, the power of propaganda. A Republicans conservatives cup of tea.
Wow. that makes less than no sense. Americans escorted into Cuba for the purposes of making an anti-US film are going to get treatment that far exceeds anything that most if not all Cubans get to experience.
Don't rely on this fairy tale for true information. Form your own judgements of the health care system and how it has changed over the past 30 years...unless it is more personally convenient for you to blame everything on GWB and treat everything that MM says as gospel.
THIS IS NOT A PARTISAN ISSUE. YOU ARE ONLY HURTING THE CAUSE BY STARTING UP THE "EVIL NEOCON" CRAP.
I meant to give you a negative. For it is you nutballs who are making a partisan issue out of it--as you do with everything. For you, politics is a sport--Republican vs. Democrat, conservative vs. liberal, right vs. left. Anything to "help" your team win.
Let me tell you something: this is NOT the America I know and love. I desperately want America to be returned to its Constitutional roots. If you haven't noticed; I have criticized your favorite whipping boy, Bill Clinton, for the damage HE did on that scale, and I do NOT support his wife's run for the presidency. So it is unfair to paint all liberals with the same broad brush. Most of us are, indeed, critical thinkers and we only want want we believe is best for our country.
What could be more patriotic?
So how was my comment in any way partisan? I am sitting here saying DONT BE PARTISAN about this issue, yet you say I am being partisan...lol. You are so full of hate and HYPOCRISY you apparently didnt even read my comment. Sad.
I am not hypocritical. Nor am I full of hate. And I did read your post and many of your previous posts and I have come to my own conclusions.
And, BTW, I could care less what you and your ilk think of me and others who differ from your point of view...
so full of hate.....
The difference between me and you is I DO care about what you (and others like you) think, I may not agree with it, but I care.
I know you thin kyou know me, but if you have truly read many of my posts you would know I don't always "fall along party lines" like you evidently think I do.
You are just another person making baseless assumptions from your own very screwed up point of view.
Nor do I always "fall along party lines," like you evidently think I do. And just because I disagree with you doesn't mean my assumptions are baseless or that I have a "very screwed up point of view"...it just means I have a differing point of view.
I'm done with you.
Good luck in your "no spin zone..."

I can't wait to check this flick out. It has been getting very favorable reviews, even from Fox News of all places.
Michael Moore just recently did his first interview in 2 years in regards to this movie with Bill Maher:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6k9e4c1-Jg
What a great interview. MM has been correct at every turn. I've got lots of respect for the guy. I can't wait to see the movie.
"MM has been correct at every turn." You've got to be kidding me. I have no respect for this waste of oxygen.
basically you have no respect for anyone because you have anger issue.
AK,
Looking at your comments, one might say that you are the waste of oxygen, and also the food grown on our soil and the water!
If you want to be angry, that's fine by me, but do it in your own space-time matrix. Don't waste space here!
Sorry Ken--didn't mean to make you angry but through my eyes and ears MM is right on the money. Ya, he did do some major manipulation on 911---and I don't necessarily like to watch people being put on the spot----if that's what has to happen for the big picture to be shown, so be it. He's working it for you and me. He's one person making a difference.
major manipulation on 9/11 ?????
that's a major understatement
i don't understand.
amazed and gratified that this loyal American
thanks for the link, Neophile
Fox is only giving a good review because the powers that be have decided to start Lobbies to get Congress to pass Universal Health Coverage.
Whe big Business quivers Fox Responds. :}
Follow the money as usual.
Here's Fox News' review of it
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,273875,00.html
Getting good health care, like so many other things, *shouldn't* be a partisan topic.
I have great health care
you could always buy the best insurance.
a-s,
You are one sick puppy!
Calling others fat does not make you less fat or more attractive. In fact, it shows a very ugly side of you that would repel just about everybody.
Bring something worthwhile to the discussion here. You are among some very intelligent and bright people here, If you want to be a boil on the butt, you have a lot of choices!
he does present everything in a very interesting way
Yes Neo, Fox news even. Guess Fox has some cerdibility now in your eyes....when you agree with them?
In all seriousness. This is an issue that crosses party lines. Its not any parties fault. The only thing that is unfortunate is that Moore has such an ability to polarize his audience (based on the total crap and lies he has come out with before) that such an important message may fall on some deaf ears.
I just wish someone else would have taken on this subject other than Moore.
The only problem I have with the flick is the part where he takes a few people to Cuba to get healthcare, the assertion being that they are getting better public health care in Cuba than they could get in the USA. The dishonest part of it all (how could Moore not do a movie without stretching the truth to serve his ends at least ONCE) is that only the elite class in Cuba would be getting that health care. The average Cuban would never recieve such treatment, thus his assertion is extremely flawed.
cont....
That being said, its a discussion that needs to be had in this country. I dont think all medical care should be on the government tit, but there has to be some give by the insurance and Pharmacitucal companies.
NoSpinDave - VDonPenis
Actually the part where he takes a few people to Cuba, he takes them to the US-controlled Guantanamo Bay to get the same health care our government is giving the suspected terrorist detainees there.
(spoilers)
Apparently after being refused at Gitmo, he continues on to Havana where the patients are treated well and cheaply.
thank for this link
