Did the bloated Mike Moore show Canadians waiting 7-9 MONTHS for an MRI in his latest "film?"?

I wonder did he show that peoples PETS were able to get treatment before suffering human beings?

Did Mr Moore view the REALCuba?

Somehow I doubt it. Mr Moore is laughing his rotund belly all the way to the bank.

Suckers.

OK I apologize for the "bloated" and "rotund" remarks. I realise they are merely physical insults and have no place in a debate. They are just such fun words and I wanted to use them.

OK then, debate the ideas now and not the insults.

NO ONE is denied treatment in the USA.

None.

Bubba? "Doctored rightwing websites"????

LMAO. You just lost, right there.

NEXT!

You can see the movie FREE online.

Answer 1

Funnier still is that Britain and Canada are both moving toward market based reforms to their touchy feely, deadly socialist health care schemes. Moore's too stupid and/or too deceitful to know and/or disclose when the picture he's being shown about socialized health care is obviously being staged.
************************
'I haven't seen 'Sicko,'" says Avril Allen about the new Michael Moore documentary, which advocates socialized medicine for the United States. The film, which has been widely viewed on the Internet, and which will officially open in the U.S. and Canada on Friday, has been getting rave reviews. But Ms. Allen, a lawyer, has no plans to watch it. She's just too busy preparing to file suit against Ontario's provincial government about its health-care system next month.

Her client, Lindsay McCreith, would have had to wait for four months just to get an MRI, and then months more to see a neurologist for his malignant brain tumor. Instead, frustrated and ill, the retired auto-body shop owner traveled to Buffalo, N.Y., for a lifesaving surgery. Now he's suing for the right to opt out of Canada's government-run health care, which he considers dangerous.

Ms. Allen figures the lawsuit has a fighting chance: In 2005, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that "access to wait lists is not access to health care," striking down key Quebec laws that prohibited private medicine and private health insurance.

"Access to wait lists is not access to health care". Very well put.

Answer 2

Why does 'Canada' have anything to do with establishing a more rational and less expensive universal medical INSURANCE system here in the USA? Why would having health insurance be a bad thing for the millions of Americans who at this point don't have any? What exactly would be bad about medical facilities and doctors actually getting paid in a timely matter via a health insurance plan that works? As far as 'Cuba' is concerned, it's possible that their health care system works for them even though the rest of their society doesn't. A stopped clock is right twice a day. Last, an ad hominum attack on the size of Moore's belly isn't much of an argument against universal health INSURANCE for all Americans. Canada, Cuba and Moore's fat deposits aren't the issue. The issue is affordable health INSURANCE!!!

Answer 3

I have not and will not watch any movie made by Michael Moore. Why inflict such psychic pain on myself?

But, I'd advise you to take any bar bet that Moore will NOT EVER show any patient having trouble getting health care in ANY socialist health care system.

You'll win.

Answer 4

The best movie Michael Moore made was Canadian Bacon.

Answer 5

No, but he did interview about 40 patients of Canadian, English, and French hospitals. They all said that not only is the quality of care excellent, there are no long lines for treatment nor gigantic bills associated with it. Also, they don't kick sick people out on to the street like some American hospitals recently got caught doing.

But you posted two links to (probably) doctored right wing websites! That proves you right!

America's health care system is great, so long as you don't get sick. Just ask the guy who runs "Moorewatch.Com" who almost had to shut down his website because he couldn't afford his wife's medical bills. (He was insured too!) Thankfully, Micheal Moore found it in his heart to donate $10,000 of his own money to the guy so he could continue to lie and slander him on the Internet.

Answer 6

Don't worry Michael Moore will soon have another fictional movie come out when he finds out the republican candidate for president. He is already researching (using LSD) to come up with generic lies.

It is unfortunate for all healthcare that MM is considered a source of info.

Answer 7

Isnt Rush Limbaugh and D. Cheney rotund and bloated?

And crazy and hateful?
Yep.

Like you right wing nuts actually care about "suffering human beings"

haw haw haw haw~!

Answer 8

Which would you prefer? Canadians waiting 7 months or US citizens waiting forever as those without insurance do here?

Are you sure you understand what this movie is about?

Answer 9

ah, you are one of those people who still thinks we are trying to have a system just like Canada. Have we ever taken anything from another nation and done it just like them? No, we change it, try to make it better and apply it to OUR system. This will be no different. So your problem isn't with everyone getting health care it's with you possibly having to wait? Dually noted, but there will be ways to fix and prevent this.

Answer 10

I hope you are getting kick backs from the AMA on this one. We also have medical rationing in this country by the for-profit HMO system. So what's your point?

Edit: No, people are not denied basic treatment, but they are often denied better treatment to increase quality of life or save their life. Are you an AMA lobbiest? You're certainly acting like one.
