Michael Moore's 'SiCKO'

[KNOWTHIS]

I finally saw it. I thought it was really good. I know that much has been made about the assumed dangers of socialized healthcare and the government denying people services. Yet we already have that problem right now here in America. It's called an HMO. Doctors are actually given financial incentives by these insurance companies to deny care to their patients. And that goes without even mentioning the millions of Americans that have no care at all...PERIOD. One woman in the movie actually moved to Canada because she was so disgusted with the American system. One 9/11 first responder found out that the same inhaler that cost her 250 dollars here in the US cost her a mere 5 cents in Cuba. I admit that no system is without its flaws but there is certainly plenty of propaganda going around on both sides of the issue.

Good movie...but, i HATE Michael Moore.

[KNOWTHIS]

I don't agree with him on some issues but I wouldn't say that I hate him. In the movie you learn that he sent a big check to the owner of a major anti-Michael Moore site who needed help for his wife who was sick. Most people wouldn't have done that considering the circumstances.

I thought that 'Roger & Me' was good too. Moore has since mentioned some deeper questions about 9/11.

It was once rumored that there’d be a sequel to Fahrenheit 9/11. I haven’t heard anything more about it since though. I’m reserving judgment about it until I actually see it (if it ever does comes out). Moore could do a lot to redeem himself in my mind if he decided to tackle the issue of 9/11 in more depth.

Yeah, I have to agree with KNOWTHIS on Moore. There are always some things that people do to make us disagree with them on certain issues. I disagree with Ron Paul on Free Trade, but I think he is on our side. Same with Alex Jones, Mike Rivero, and others on Global Warming. If we look at the overview, then we see the real enemies are The Clintons, The Bushes, The NWO, The Federal Reserve, the WTO, the IMF, etc.

I know the big sticking point for him is Gun Control. Other than that, and his initial response to 9/11 Truthers, I think he is on our side. In fact, he is coming over to the Real Truth:

Michael Moore: 9/11 Could Be Inside Job

Discusses Explosions in Buildings, Demands '100 Angles' of Pentagon Video, and Calls for a New Investigation-- "They Haven't Even Told Us Half the Truth."

Academy Award winner Michael Moore answered questions on 9/11 truth during a sneak peak of his new documentary, SiCKO, in New York . Our reporters were initially avoided by Moore, but he subsequently decided to approach We Are Change.org/ Infowars.com reporters for a discussion.

Moore brought up his lingering questions on 9/11, which are a clear departure from the 'government negligence' picture he painted in his film Fahrenheit 9/11, released some three years ago.

Moore told reporters, "I've had a number of firefighters tell me over the years and since Fahrenheit 9/11 that they heard these explosions-- that they believe there's MUCH more to the story than we've been told. I don't think the official investigations have told us the complete truth-- they haven't even told us half the truth."



Michael Moore brought up the blackout of video at the site of the alleged Pentagon plane crash on his own, appearing quite willing to discuss subjects that so-called left gatekeepers have previously refused to raise questions about.

"I've filmed there before down at the Pentagon-- before 9/11-- there's got to be at least 100 cameras, ringing that building, in the trees, everywhere. They've got that plane coming in with 100 angles. How come with haven't seen the straight-- I'm not talking about stop-action photos, I'm talking about the video. I want to see the video; I want to see 100 videos that exist of this," Moore said.

The numbers reveal exactly what Nixon once said. More money to be made and less care to be offered. The birth of the HMO.

Last year 50% of American families filed for bankruptcy as a result of a serious medical problems in the family and related expenses. Of those families, 75% had health insurance.

"It's middle-class people. It's people that do have insurance, but they still owe so much," Ms. Johnson said.Medical problems contribute to about half of all bankruptcies, and those numbers are increasing, according to a 2005 report in Health Affairs, a health policy journal.

Swamp, have you heard anything more about a sequel to Fahrenheit 9/11? And have you seen Sicko yet? It's really good. It'll make your blood boil though.
