Just saw the movie last night. The most disturbing part was the lady who was the Medical Director for that insurance company saying that she caused the death of so many people by denying claims based on technicalities etc...Shame......
No, i dont think Michael Moore showed the WHOLE truth about it all (like the high income tax rate of Canadians to pay for socilaized healthcare) but my goodness- we dump people who cannot pay hospital bills off on the street in front of homeless shelters on skid row?!?!?! .....And how is that $50 million for the volunteers that worked at ground zero being allocated??? The people in the movie didnt see a dime of it and they were clearly in need...And WTF? Prisoners of war- the same people who want all Americans dead (AND tried to kill a significant amount of us on 9/11)- are getting "top notch" medical treatment at Guatanamo Bay??? Thats just messed up! Your thoughts? Do you think we could ever have a National Health Care system?

Haven't seen the movie, don't intend to....but, national healthcare isn't going to happen as long as the insurance companies have such powerful lobbyists in our Capital.
Our "representatives" do not represent the people you know, they represent themselves, and as long as the insurance companies are feeding them money, we will never have national healthcare. Every other nation on the planet has it, but not us, we are too heavily into the capitalist system.

Anybody can make a 2 hour movie about the bad side of anything. I could with enough time and money make a documentary about how the evil Bunny rabbit is trying to take over the world. Michael Moore makes tons of money showing you the bad side of things and making America look like the bad guy. Does our healthcare system have problems? Yes. But not any more than every other country and less than many. Why do the most significant medical discoveries not come from Canada or Britain. Socialized medicine.
Its the old brainwashing technique of problem/reaction/solution. They show you a half-truth presenting you with a problem which incites a passionate reaction and then they offer you a solution and make it appear it was your idea. There are problems with American healthcare which there is no evidence of in these other countries (which is a lie) the answer is Socialized medicine and you as a "good" person should demand it. Michael Moore is the Propaganda Minister for the Neo-Marxist Political left. And this is their message: Self-determination, freedom are bad you must let the government control your lives because you are not capable of doing so.

Michael Moore's movies can't be taken as the whole truth. He is trying to make people angry and incite change. Seems to be working (the angry part, anyway). I'm going to get a little political here: We will never have National Health Care with Republicans in the White House. They actually want to go the other way. Look at Canada. They have the National Health Care, and they tend to have a "liberal" government.

Yes we do drop homeless who can't pay off in front of shelters on skid row in bigger citites. Also on a personal note many HMO's are not competative or don't step up to the plate to submit bids to companies so you wind up changing insurances and getting caught in a whole different system and have to find all new docs and specialists and many are not good. Such is the case with hubby who got diagnosed with sleep apnea and uses the machine but has some normal problems with falling asleep sometimes and asked the regular doc for something and the regular doc wouldn't help him and told him the doc that deals with the sleep apnea is the one he should see. Pure BS just because he didn't want to deal with a simple insomnia problem.

My husband and I just watched it and we're both furious at our government. I love how everyone says it takes so long to get treatment where they have socialized medicine while people in America can "get right in". I have excellent insurance and went to the Dr. for my dizzy spells. I got an appointment 3 for 3 weeks later with a neurologist so that they can make an appointment for an MRI "a few weeks after that." Meanwhile a well-known radio personality said he got a MRI within 2 hours from his doctor. Um, yeah, that's because you are famous. If you are not rich and famous in this country, you are screwed when it comes to health care.

fortuitously one won't be able to be arrested or convicted for ones innovations, yet can write approximately those eccentric innovations and be heavily acclaimed. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" grow to be a great e book/action picture.
