  If he has to be taken to a hospital for boot extrication, will MM insist that he be taken to Cuba, that heavenly isle where the most perfect health care available on this planet awaits????
  I guess it's OK to hope, isn't it??????
  LOL!!!

    It's a fantastic movie. I recommend you take a break from the childish ad hominem attacks to give it a once over.

      I watched it this morning and it is amazing. Regardless anyone's opinion on MM, he brings up some very staggering points about our government that need to be brought to light. Instead of concentrating on the man, why don't the critics concentrate on the issue; Health Care in America.

        Actually, this stunt is OLD NEWS. In fact, a long time ago, the Daily Show's Samantha Bee interviewed Mike Wilson., who tried to pull the same stunt on Michael Moore. Here is the videoclip.

        I agree. It seems some of us Americans can get all bent out of shape when our country is exposed to criticism and would like to improve things. It seems some still believe we're #1 in all things...wrong! One of the few things we're still #1 is our military, but domestic areas such as education (we're ranked #20) we have ignored and will eventually pay for it. How can we insure our dominance if we ignore education...or in this case health care? MM is giving us a rude awakening and it behooves us to listen and do somthing about it. The Cuba thing shouldn't be taken that serious it is probably a hyperbile just to make a point and stir controversy.

        want to be honest .the only flaws is the existance of the insurance system and lawyers.everyone who dosent pay for it out of pocket thinks healthcare is free they dont know what they are charged.if everyone had to pay for it themselves the market would bring things back in line.on the lawyers they need toget a handle on the over excessive judgements.medicne is an art NOT a science.also if you cannot see that our semi-freemarket system is what produces the best medicens and treatments then you must ask who is not being honest

        instead of having a real debate you smear.said nothing about the poor.I AM THE POOR and i cant afford anything beacuse of all the TARTS SITTING ON WELFARE.i see daily how many really need the system and the multitude that do not. i see if the system did not exist i would be able to do fine on my own.we give away to much to those who steal and lie and break in.we dont require anythign of them.i see how one woman has baby after baby to increase their welfare check.i see the couple living together making 4x as much as i do and quallifying for free housing and food stamps and and and.i see prices skyrocket beacuse all these people have FREE MONEY.im not crying for my share.im crying beacuse I WORK.they do nothing but deal drugs and yes delibratly get pregnant.

        You seem laden with anger and blind resentment.
        If you have an enemy, it is better if you can see them,so that you know who, when, where and how to fight.
        If you cannot, then you become a very old and angry person, and that benefits no one.
        What you should be asking as a hard working American is:
        "After spending my life following the rules, what do I deserve, what do I need, and how can I get it"?
        I ask these questions every day.
        I will continue to work hard to see that people in your situation have a government, economy and system that can indeed give you all that you deserve.
        If you feel that there are others preventing you
        from getting what is rightfully yours, then there are people like me who would assist you.
        All that I ask is that my leaders do not prevent me from growing, sharing and making us greater, and in my opinion, as a Reagan Republican, and former member of his steering committee,Bush has harmed us for years by permitting the flood of immigration.

        Of course there are people who abuse the system; but the majority of people who are on public assistance are on it because they not only NEED IT, they DESERVE IT! I happen to be on social security disability due to severe, advanced degenerative joint disease affecting all my major joints. I have had both hips and knees replaced, and I am only 58 yrs old. I worked from age 17 until 2 yrs ago, when my pain and my mobility because too severe to do so. I live in an area that has people on every economic rung of the ladder, and I know some of them are working the "system." Yet, I don't regret paying into that system so that children born into poverty can get health care, food, a roof over their heads, shoes on their feet, clothes, education, and a chance to make it in life! I find your attitude selfish, cynical and narrow-minded. There are always people who will take advantage of any situation; that doesn't mean everyone else in need should suffer because of them.

        Cushi I love your post. Not only are you representative of your own claim that not everyone abuses the system,but stats support your arguement as well.(at least for Canada-and I am sure that the States are probably similar)In fact, there is a much higher proportion of people who cheat on their income taxes. As well, the " welfare mother" myth is usually touted by Right wing think tanks like the Fraser Institute here in Canada, even though the reality is that this group comprises a very small % of people on welfare. The majority are the working poor, the ones that live pay cheque to pay cheque, who are unfortunate enough to be downsized due to growing corporate outsourcing.

        What I see is that in the wealthiest nation in the world, 45 million Americans (including 9 million children) don't have health insurance. Do you dispute this?
        "if everyone had to pay for it themselves the market would bring things back in line"
        Who has fed you this COMPLETE CRAP about the free market system? Why should some people get better healthcare simply because they have more disposable income than others?

        This is a free country, which means you are free to fail or succeed, not get a FREE ride. You want better health care, get a better job, if that means you need to further your education then do it. This is the land of opportunity, success is up to you, anyone who complains about the system is just passing the blame for their own failures to someone else.

        Failure tto recognize and address the causes of poverty in America and Canada -eventually leads to more cost farther down the line, not to mention a poor quality of life and lost opportunities for those children who happen to be born into a poorer family.
        Upgrading your education can almost be an impossible task for a single mother without a support network.

        You can defame the messenger but you can't contain the message! Too many people in this country need decent healthcare and can't afford it. They need and want a healthcare program on a national level, and their numbers are growing daily.
        And by the way, what is your middle name? Scrooge?

No matter what anyone thinks or feels MM is doing wrong--the issues he shines the spotlight on are very important to the masses. Everyone knows it. Could he do it without so much manipulation? Probably.
I get upset at all the manipulations coming from MM as well. I chose to believe he wants to do good and is still for the average person on the street. No one else has the kahunas to do what he does.
I wonder how many others have tried to get interviews and been turned down---maybe if their PR people had contacted his PR people....he knows people are gunning for him---I'd probably hide too.

  Nobody can deny that the U.S. healthcare system is too expensive and too exclusive. However, Cubans that recently left Cuba and are here said in an article I read that they have a three tiered system there as well. Best care goes to high government officials, next those working in government positions, then the rest of them. However the good thing about their system is that it's heavy on preventative care.

        You notice how the Moore worshippers are ignoring all the negative aspects of this story as well?
        Not long ago they accused Giuliani - incorrectly at that - of Nazi tactics when his press secretary was attacked by an imposter after a recent GOP debate.Now they completely ignore Moore's entourage doing far worse.
        Moore has made millions exploiting the plight of others while doing zilch to help those he pretends to care about.

        I am not asking about the guys credibility. Forget about MM. I am asking about the facts he lays out. See this movie. Then lets talk about the facts. If he is wrong, then hurray for the US. If he isn't, our govt is full of criminals and we shouldn't be looking in another direction (such as questioning MM credibility) and ignoring what is going on in the U.S.

        I agree I don't get it. Who cares that the film was made by MM, or that there might be questionable facts( haven't seen the film) but isn't the whole point to encourage debate and to make people reflectand ask themselves if there is a better way to run things- whatever that may be.
        Personally -I don't care about MM- I neither like or dislike him. It seems that everyone who dislikes MM makes no mention of their opinions on the present day health care system.

        LOL! You sound like a blind man demanding of the sighted to prove there are colors!
        You could just as easily provide verification of MM's claims. Why don't you enlighten us with collaborating data instead of extending a pointless shouting match?
        Man up to your man.

    "Please enlighten us on the "misinformation" he is portraying and give us the correct facts please."
    Well, one of your liberal brethren earlier today in another thread showed the World Health Organization rankings of health care systems. It had Cuba ranked lower than the U.S.
    You can bet Moore also skipped the part about Cuba locking up all it's AIDs-afflicted citizens and never letting them out into public ever again, either. You'd be far better off being afflicted with AIDs in the U.S. than in Cuba.

      Wow...It's a pretty freaking sad day in America when people's expectations of their country are so low they are content to ignore the flaws in their own healthcare system simply because their country outranked some sh*thole country.

      And what's wrong with separating AIDs victims from the rest of the population? They just did this with a TB victim and nobody complained...it's called quarantine...
      They should have started locking them up from the first ones diagnosed; just think how many millions of people that action would have saved!!!
      Viva la Cuba!!! At least they had the sense to do what was right for the entire population - quarantine works - AIDS is not a social debate, it's a deadly killer.
      If you had a choice of catching AIDS in US or Cuba, I would bet the normal person would say quarantine is the best choice.

        TB is a highly contagious disease- hence the need to quarantine. This is hardly the case with aids- it doesnt float around in the air making those close to the infected person ill.

  "I think it is a sad time when someone like him can profit off the misinformation he portrays as fact."
  I know, right? It's much more honorable to profit off of an illegal war of choice which results in the deaths of thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. Now *there's* a cause *I* can get behind!

  He is a very wealthy entertainer
  and people are only asking when they can
  see his NEXT movie..And there will be one!!
  and another, and another..
  He uses creative "tactics" to assault
  those who believe that their money
  can buy so much influence that they are immune..
  he doesn't have to follow any rules..
  They don't!!
  He's great..And if he gets a response, THAT is when we know he is really effective...
  The lemmings can keep honoring their evil leaders,
  and he'll keep showing you the poop in their pants,
  even if he has to sneak into their hampers at night!
  as he says "I use a different and unique form of artistic creativity"..
  He goes after the corporate despots and rotten
  corporate thieves, who take our money and
  use it to buy their "immunity".
  His movies are just that...creative and artistic...
  Keep bringing them down Michael!!!

    He is???? "exactly what others of being"??
    Does he build unsafe cars and is reponsible for
    people losing their livelyhoods??
    Does he create chemicals that kill people and are only approved with bribe money through the FDA??
    My father died from Vioxx..
    Does he prevent seniors from affording medication and telling them that the same .22 pill in Canada must be bought here for $8??
    I didn't know he did that!!!

      1 unsafe cars ......there used to be a saying in this country ...buyer beware. ...its not the govts place to regulate
      my condolences on your father however medicene is a art not a science.same rule applys let the buyer beware...not the govts place to regulate.
      the only reason canada has those pills is their proximity to the US.also those pills you get in canada may not be the same pill.ther have been problems with some of the cheap ones.

        They WILLINGLY allow drugs to be sold despite faulty or unfionished testing in favor of profits..
        Why do you defend people who sell us products that kill us and
        then simply say "buyer beware"..
        Yes.>BEWARE OF THE BAD GUYS!
        The buyer is supposed to be safe when they buy a car, or
        medication...
        If you do not believe that then I can't go further..
        THEY ARE THE SAME PILLS..IT is a fact..
        Only fools believe those lies now..
        Why are you so vulnerable and gullible when it comes to
        protecting plain old Americans from faulty business practices?
        I will never understand..

        Mr C - apparently it is because he is stupid. He apparently is one of those who has a problem with government interference, but probably has little ,if any, problem with the government limiting lawsuits(uuh - governmental interference) against companies whose products maim and kill.
        In short, he is a total inconsistent idiot.
        Gotta give him one thing - his moniker is appropriate.

        These comments came from a Mrs (she) and I am astounded by the
        sheep-like complacency..She's have made a fine slave..
        oh, but only because "the market" commanded it..
        If there were no room for slave made products the consumer would not buy them....
        Truly bizzare..
        So no one is there to protect us...
        Who needs cops, we can protect ourselves, right?
        really, really bizzare..gullible and foolish..

        I guess you are one of those "caveat emptor" types that thinks even if a business knows their product is harmful or detrimental to those who use it, it is the user who is always at fault. Here, buttbrain, I got some "spring water"fer ya. Go ahead and drink it. Ahhh, we accidentally laced it with stricnine? Ahh, too bad for you and yours.

        It's OK for auto manufacturers to put out unsafe cars if they can get away with it? So little children are mangled and killed?

        You are incorrect- The medications we buy in Canada are exactly the same. People buying med's through unregulated online shops - I say buyer beware.

  Exactly..But you know how long they have been supporting the concept of open discussion and education..
  Oh that's right, they haven't gotten there yet!!
  They don't even believe in evolution, so they can't evolve.
  They're still trying to get over how Joe McCarthy didn't let the government ruin enough families by finishing the job on the pro-Commie Jew media, didn't fight de-segregation hard enough and how cowardly we were to leave Vietnam..

My feeling is that he is an easy target, and the "filmmakers" exploited him for their own self serving. I adore Michael - always have, always will. These film makers used him as a subject to get on the map. Is he sometime loose with the fact - probably - but it is the larger message that is important beyond that.
