First I will say upfront I am a Conservative.
Second I got to see the Movie early because I am Certified "Mystery Shopper" and got paid to watch it.
There will be fun for both Repubs. and Dems.
Dems can blast Repubs because it was under Nixon that HMO's truly started.
Repubs can blast Dems because he reveals Dems get more money from Healthcare companies than Repubs to prevent a change in our Healthcare system. Hillary, mother of "Universal Health care" gets the 2nd Most money from Healthcare companies of anyone in Congress or senate.
I won'r reveal any more...
If everyone saw it, think of the fun we will have here on Y/A for the next few weeks????
So who's gonna see it?

I'm going to see it. I think it's important to get as many perspectives on issues as you can.

I saw the movie - it was his best film so far. I wouldn't be surprised if he won another Oscar. Everyone in this country needs to see this movie. Our politicians, health insurance companies, and drug companies should hang their heads in deep shame. I cried my eyes out throughout the movie. No one ever should be made to choose between decent health care and just being able to get by, and some have even paid with their lives. Our "system" is totally screwed up, and is being run by heartless, money hungry monsters. Those of you who are bashing Michael Moore need to walk a mile in the shoes of some of these people. Maybe then your eyes would be opened to what's going on in this country.

I'm going to see it. I like the fact that the Brit doctors get paid, or receive some kind of bonus based on how many patients they get better. I've spent $1000's of dollars on docs who didn't do a damn thing for me. I went to the library and got books and figured it out myself. I don't even want to get into how they killed my aunt thru negligence...
How many other places do you have to pay before you receive a "service" and then there's no recourse if they suck... and don't tell me there is.... been through too much. It's a racket.

Of course I'm gonna see it! Mike's my homie, and I've seen all his films....other than a misrepresented neighborhood in "Roger and Me" (it was supposed to have been in Detroit but was actually in my hometown of Flint) I certainly haven't perceived any of the "lies" that the neocons are so fond of shreiking about.
Biased---yes. Lies? Nope. The bias is no problem with me, as I'm as far left as it gets. I'll laugh and applaud as much as anyone else there, for, as you can guess, Mike's pretty well-received in his home town.
The biggest problem with Mike isn't his views (or his weight...there's lots of chunky neocons out there too.); it's his tendency to be a loose cannon where his mouth is concerned. Still, his heart's in the right place, and I respect him with all my being.
BTW, I've been aware for many years that Cuba's healthcare and hospitals (along with their schools) are far superior to those in the U.S. Maybe we can learn a thing or two from that "leftwing commie pinko".

I plan on going this weekend. I have enjoyed Moore's other documentaries so I'm curious about this new one. Regardless of what side of the political spectrum you choose, national health care is an issue that everyone needs to work towards fixing.

Wow! I'd love to get paid to do that sort of thing! How does that work?
No, I hardly go to the movies now that we have a son and a Michael Moore movie wouldn't be my choice even if I **gulp** agree with many of his views on this particular subject.

Yes, saw it and was not at all surprised that all the tickets for the 7 PM previews in all the theaters around my region last Saturday were all sold out! ALL Americans should see it and judge who are the real liars who distort the concept of National Health Services.
Excellent film that serves to be a real wake-up call to Americans!!! ;-)

I will. We all know the healthcare industry is crooked. I'm hoping this movie shines some light on why. The man doesn't lie.

For all of you that have never worked in the health care industry, don't see it remain ignorant of the dire reality.
For those of you that have sat in an emergency room for 20 hours plus, do see it and know who to blame.

It will cater to both parties extremist quite nicely I'm sure. Fakeumentries are not something I generally waste time or money on. Is the movie free, or do we have to spend money that could be used on healthcare for it?
