The only thing Michael Moore can do to improve the costs of health care is for the fat a** to lose some weight. Obesity and our horrible diets are what is causing health care to suffer in this country. It is about time that we can toss the chips and soda, pick up a carrot and go run a couple of miles.

Our healthcare is even worse than Michael Moore is trying to tell us. Even though,we are paying through our taxes for more than half of the healthcare in this country (federal,state,county employees,veterans,Medicaid and Medicare for poor and aged;and illegal immigrants) we may bot be able to afford our own. It costs $1,000.00 per month for a family of four.

What’s even worse, medical errors and infections in hospitals are very high. Check Pennsylvania’s statistics which are available online.

Also shameful, is the fact that half of our bankruptcies are due to medical bills.

Lets stop being stupid and ignorant and intellectually lazy. What on earth is anyone thinking when they attack Michael Moore? When the bad news comes you check the validity of the news. Even if you think the movie is untrue and manipulative and lying by omission (like the news media) - you check the validity of the report. Mr. Moore just served up the truth about the lack of American Health Care and, had he tried to make it look good which would be virtually impossible, it would have been like putting a smile on the corpse.

We need a BLOG site that informs everyone where Health care is failing details not opinions.
We need a BLOG site that informs everyone what prescription drug companies are doing or not details not opinions.
We need a BLOG site that informs everyone what the news media said and what they left out by name, location and date.
If politicians are in their pocket we need names. You won’t get it on on the evening news. You know that, instead we have to listen to endless reports about Paris Hilton’s little lapse of sobriety while millions are being savaged by our lheath system. That is manipulative and done to distract us from reality. Truth is, sorry Paris, we don’t give a dam about your little upscale problem.

And listen up, don’t allow the boys in D.C. to get Jeevis McNasty in Nowheresville, Middle America to start the conspiracy blog. That’s what they will do to throw you off the scent. Just get the facts and decide for yourself. Anyone? If I new how to do it, I would. I know your out there, lets get organized. Names, dates, location … just the facts … the truth will set us free. It is all about What We Can Prove, not what we think or what we think we know … facts people … lets gather the data and go after the bums.

Who said it was free?
I am willing and able to work for a change.
AND I am pleased to say we now have the non-fiction film “Sicko” playing in Baton Rouge. Which just goes to show, if you ask and ask and ask, you shall receive.
Thank you Rave Motion Pictures!

Amusing. Michael Moore, the reigning grand master of lies and misrepresentation, is complaining about perceived dishonesty. I think the socialists are going to need to find a frontman with a little more sophistication.

You don’t know what an immoral war is. Health care needs to be fixed. Law schools need to be closed and Med scholls need to be opened. Health insurance should be outlawed and costs would correct itself. Health care would eventually be available to all. Economics is the only way to correct a wrong and “FEELING” this way or that won’t do anything. That’s the way it is….

Until the chief FDA executive is executed for the corruption and all the deaths caused by their complicity with pharmacy companies this nation will never get well. Start with the leaders and stop the corruption and gang like mafia tactics that are embedded in the FDA. American citizens losing their lives and money to these crooks is the real crime. Insurance companies are no better and should be regulated into doing what is right.

CNN.com has really dropped the ball on the Sicko coverage, and it’s persuaded me (a longtime reader) to switch to the NYT and Slate for my daily news coverage. Today’s piece, entitled “CNN’s response to Michael Moore” is shamelessly political in its analysis and a pathetic attempt at self-preservation. Just take the “CNN Response” to “Point No. 1″: the CNN perspective deliberately ignores Moore’s main issue with Gupta’s critique of Sicko’s use of the Cuba health care system comparison (at number 39, relative to the US, at 37), in that Gupta tried to frame the relevance of Cuba’s (barely) lower ranking as somehow supportive of American expenditures and standards. This completely misses the point, that being that, because as a country, we spend about $6000 more per person in health care costs, our quality of care should be significantly better than a third world country that has been under the thumb of economic sanctions for decades. CNN.com’s continued feigned ignorance, throughout this “official response,” is appalling.

Through the Sicko coverage, CNN.com has exposed itself as a sad band of pretend journalists. It should be ashamed of itself. I for one will be taking my eyeballs elsewhere in the future.

Attacks on Michaell Moore will not fix the health system in the United States–I will be the first to admit that the system in our country is not perfect either.

The best thing about the Canadian health care is that there is no dicrimination — if you are sick , you get the treatment–leave your check book home–there may be some waiting for certain elective procedures–if you have something urgent , you are seen almost immediately.

The scenes in his movie concerning the finger reattachments were done in our local limb clinic at no cost to the patient–what you saw was true.

You are lucky to have MR Moore fighting on your behalf–don`t let big corporations dictate what is best for you!!!!
