My best friend wants to see "Sicko," and she wants me to go with her because her husband, who is a doctor, probably won't want to see it.
Michael Moore (who brought you Fahrenheit 9/11, just what we needed - NOT) was interviewed the other evening, and he started spilling all these medical horror stories, courtesy of the insurance companies.
Yes, our health care system is one of the worst in the world when it comes to having gum-chewing clerks and computer programs determine what kind of care we need. It doesn't speak well when an HMO refuses to pay for an ambulance from a motor vehicle accident which left the patient unconscious for several hours because the service was not pre-authorized.
But, Mr. Moore, do you have to CRAM your one-sided views down our throats? Virtually every one of us lives with this problem everyday. Some people have no insurance. Others have to deal with HMOs or Disability or Medical Assistance. And guess what, people like my friends husband and I, who WORK in medicine, don't need to be reminded of what we deal with on a routine basis.
When I go to a movie, I want to be entertained, or I want to learn something, or I want to have my brain challenged - not be reminded of what I already know and see every single day.
Mr. Moore, your movie will not fix a problem. It will create more anger and more frustration and a greater sense of helplessness. Guess what, Mr. Moore - If you're not part of the solution, you know where you fit in.

Micheal Moore is a result of inbreeding...OK, not inbreeding but a result nonetheless of a period of time in the country where the parents were 60's hippies who had no idea of what the war was about, they just wanted to "love one another".
So that generation begat moaners and whiners like Moore, Sean Penn and Whoopie Goldberg to name a few.
This generation had everything handed to them when it came to peacetime politics and grew up with the Watergate scandal. Which was blown so far out of proportion I still cannot comprehend it.
So Comrade Moore makes a mocumentary about healthcare.
AND he thinks by taking a few peopl eto Cuba to get them better treatment should win him another oscar nod.
I wonder, did he look around when he was in Cuba? There are people living in abject poverty and hunger, but the medical care of the people is good?
Come on.
The execrable Mr Moore should be made to stay in the next third world country he visits since he hates America so much.
The Cuban people who have seen that movie say themselves..."We never see that kind of healthcare in Cuba."
Of course not, it was all for show for Mr Moore.
What a fuckhead.
