Are you excited about Michael Moore's new movie titled "SICKO" about the medical industry?

Question

I like Michael Moore, he is the only voice that came throught the horrid mess called corporate media about this stupid Iraq war. I am excited to see him tackle the medical industry that hurts so many Americans and International citizens as well.

Answer 1

I'm excited to see it because i was a pharmacy technician for years and i know how drug companies rape consumers and insurance companies don't care about anything but staying in the black,no matter if the patient suffers or dies.

Answer 2

The devil in American and Canadian Health Care Systems is that they both profit from disease, and repeat visits. Contrary to what Mr. Moore believes (I e-mailed him on this) is that while Canada has a government pay system, the services provided are still in the private sector. (this is contrary to the political rhetoric, and the misconceptions of the Canadian system) The USA is ranked 36th in the world, Canada 30th, just behind Columbia, however Italy and France are in the top two and seldom if ever mentioned. You see the business of treating disease, and or symptoms leads research and treatment away from simple cause and effect. Many people with intestinal problems are labelled with a disease, ie IBS, Crohns, may develop MS or Cancer. Yet a simple wide spectrum anti-biotic, or herbal treatments for parasites would avoid all the symptoms, and all the treatments, which are billed per visit. Truth can lie...when it is part of the truth. The key to resolving this is to get Big Business to understand that a healthy population will spend more on GM products and Microsoft products. Let us find preventative cures, the current system does not want that, since it would bankrupt them. Caesar J. B. Squitti H. B. Commerece

Answer 3

I would be excited about a documentary about the medical industry, but unfortuantely Moore has proven to be a propogandist who uses half truths and out of context quotes and things of that sort. As a result you don't know if he's representing the truth or just advancing his own agenda which may or may not be supported by fact.

Moore didn't even submit Farenheit 911 in the documentary catagory for an academy award because it wasn't a documentary, it was a propoganda film, with some fact and some fiction. Like it or not, that is the truth about Michael Moore and his movies.

Answer 4

I like Michael Moore...I'm always interesting in hearing what any free thinker has to say about anything...so long as they present facts and figures...I've been doing pharmaceutical transcriptions of doctor interviews for years and frankly, I'm shocked at how SOME hospitals work in the US and how most doctors think. A lot has to do with how much money you all have as to the level of care you get....It will be interesting to hear what he has to say.

Answer 5

I'm looking forward to seeing it, but I wonder how much footage he was able to shoot in the pharmaceutical companies. I remember hearing some time ago about how memos were sent throughout various pharmaceutical companies warning their employees not to talk to a man fitting Moore's description.

Answer 6

you, like michael moore are horribly misinformed. michael tackled nothing..this was entertainment back with innuendo and rumor. as a survivor of 911 in manhattan i can only state if you were there watching people jump out of buildings to their death you would then understand the hyporcisy of the movie and the statement therein.

Answer 7

Yes, that is, if it is not prevented from being made by the omnipotent pharmaceutical industry companies.

Answer 8

Michael Moore only writes movies full of untruths, distorted facts and propaganda. No one should be excited about movies full of lies

Answer 9

When you mentioned Michael Moore and movie title SICKO, I thought it was his life's story.

Answer 10

No, I like movies that have "truth" in them!!!!!!
