One of the greatest fallacies about the so called 'Cuban Revolution' has to do with healthcare
Foreigners who visit Cuba, are fed the official line from Castro's propaganda machine: "All Cubans are now able to receive excellent healthcare, which is also free." But the truth is very different. Castro has built excellent health facilities for the use of foreigners, who pay with hard currency for those services. Cubans who require medical attention must go to other hospitals, that lack the most minimum requirements needed to take care of their patients.
These facilities are filthy and patients have to bring their own towels, bed sheets, pillows, or they would have to lay down on dirty bare mattresses stained with blood and other body fluids.

This latest Moore propaganda film is no different than his last one, Fahrenheit 9-11, which ignored the brutal dictator and showed Iraqi kids in the park flying kites and enjoying rides at a carnival.

You are completely right. Moore is a provacteur who appeals to Leftists, he drinks his chardonnay and lives the American dream - economically.
Cuba persecutes not only captialists who compete with Fidel's firm, but also homosexuals, juvenile devotees of rock 'n roll and far from its health statistics improving, the infant mortality rate is worse than when Batista and his buddies were in control of the place. Those with AIDS are quarantined.
The political persecution continues and dissidents disappear - all so that Fidel can be a billionaire.
It is all very sad. Moore has no excuse. It is not like that he is meeting Stalin in the 1930s and is being conned by a news blockout. Moore just hates America because he thought that was right in his late teens and he has never made a mistake. He is like the Bourbons - he knows nothing and he can learn nothing.
Further, his prejudices have made him rich by selling snakeoil to fools, so why should he change? He is living proof of Shakespeare's ages of Man. Once the Left had serious well thought out positions based on rational thought. Empirically, those positions proved to be wrong, but they were not irrational and the results were not in in the 1930s. Now, once their positions are utterly discredited, to the point where they are not even given public academic support in their purist 1930s forms, it is down to a dishonest polemicist to "make" the case.

This year, we're having all the kids make their own thorny crowns out of razor wire. Also, we're going to have a cross-building contest and the lucky winner actually gets nailed to his or her own cross for the final three days of camp!

So, you enjoy buying million dollar homes and cars for insurance execs while millions of US citizens go bankrupt trying to take care of their health concerns? Regardless of what you think about Moore we have a real problem. Regardless of what Cuba is doing we have a near criminal system here. Let's cut the side sniping out and start dealing with the very real problem we have in this country.

Michael Moore is nothing more than a modern day court jester, and is about as funny as a fire at an orphange. I am sure that "pass the biscuits" moore will create something new and tasteless as Auschwitz, or perhaps he will sink a bit lower, who can say....

You're entitled to your opinion. I like Moore and his movies but I know a lot of people who don't. It's useless to argue over trivial facts presented in a liberal movie. At least Moore is fighting to improve our country. I think that we can all agree that we need some drastic changes here in America.

roughly TWICE as much money spent (as a % of GDP) for a considerably inferior record on the important health indicators
the free market is evidently anything but a panacea and grossly inefficient
youre as foolishly dogmatic as is a muslim funda
mentalist
lol - cubas record on health is comparable to that of the US - for just over A THIRD of the cost as a % of GDP

No. Maybe painting Soviet Gulags as summer fun camps.

Moore seems to have an unusually high opinion of himself.

Let's see, he's bashed corporations. Bashed gun owners. Praised nat'l healthcare. I'm thinking nationalized college educations will be next.
Yeah, I left out Bush Bashing.
