No, I think he gives a lot more money...TO THE POOR, than any of his critics!! He puts his money where his mouth is! And that isn't running his junk down to Salvation Army to get to use as a deduction.
I have never done that in my life, and if I were rich, I damn sure wouldn't be doing it.
Why is it you Repubs always want someone else to pay for your benefits?
"Fans and detractors of Moore know the most popular anti-Michael Moore website on the internet is a site called MooreWatch. The website’s tagline is “Watching Moore’s Every Move”. Webmaster Jim Kenefick recently wrote about the difficulty he was having paying his wife’s medical bills. His conservative readership guided him to a cheaper heath plan but that wasn’t enough.
“After I posted about finding the plan and what the cost was, someone emailed me and asked if an ‘anonymous’ benefactor could offer to pay my first year’s premiums. $12,000. I was skeptical of course, but since I’m not an idiot, I accepted,” wrote Kenefick. “$12,000 was like manna from heaven at that time. As you all may remember, I was being bled dry by the scumbag that used to host the server on which this site resides. My business was almost dead, my wife was very, very ill and I was racking up a few little health problems of my own. That money made it possible for us to begin to turn our lives around.”
But who and where did the check come from?
The NY Daily News has confirmed that the check was indeed from Kenefick’s nemesis, Michael Moore. A man that Kenefick had attacked for years on end.
“I knew he was using me,” Kenefick now writes on his blog in an effort to beat Moore to the punch. “I knew he would try to turn this to his advantage some day. That day may be upon us. I was just warned by someone in the know that Moore is about to drop the hammer on me.”
Well guess what, Moore isn’t commenting on the matter. And I hope it stays that way. I tend to believe that Mike is a good guy, who has helped a lot of people with his films. Does he have an agenda? Who doesn’t. Kenefick certainly does:
“If it was you, Mikey…your $12,000 doesn’t buy my silence. It won’t buy my affection, nor will I shy away from talking about whatever may or may not be in your new film. I’ll still be the same guy, expressing my opinion and trying his best to research facts you tend to skip over or ignore. All you bought for your money - if it was yours - was the peace of mind of knowing you actually helped someone who needed it.”
Talk about being ungrateful. Talk about turning a nice gesture into a media opp for yourself and your agenda.

By establishing a universal health insurance single payer plan for all Americans each person enrolled would pay less and get more. At this point insurance companies go out of their way not to pay bills that they're contractually obilgated to pay. It's so bad that many doctors simply don't accept insurance payment. You pay up front or it's no service. If your insurance company sticks it to you you're out of luck, not the doctor. Why people don't understand the way insurance works is a wonder to me. Everyone pays, and everyone is covered. There will still be deductables and co-pays, but you'll never have to worry if the doctor will see you. Cheaper and more realiable and universal....that's the ticket!

If I remember correctly Mr. Moore sent one of his big critics the money to cover his bills. I think the guy was having some health issues which evolved into money problems? Something like that??? Anybody else here about this story?

Health insurance is a great idea,, it's how you go about it, and his way is just like all the other democraps and that is to tap your pocket to pay for someone else!

I guess that would depend on the insurance policy. If it included mental health treatments for liberalism, it would be worth gold.

The fraud went to Canada to have his film finished, because it cost too much in the USA because the cost of the Union employees was so much hire... ( you know their health benefits)
What a joke he is.
