SICKO: Special Premiere for Health Care Lobbyists

[rlugz0356]

Lets see how long it takes for your country to go down the toilet. And as for the US , we are taking our country back from the likes of Marxist like your self.

[JohnnyDesaint]

i like the movie but its not factual in c uba they got about 3 good hospitals like you see in the moviebut all the other hospitals are bad..no windows no sheets nothing.they look like buildings in a third world country.i have heard that people have went to these hospitals and have had too spend the night too see a doctor with rain poring in.the health care idea in cuba is great but the goverment is spending all their money on military waiting for a world war...no shit

[Freez57fr]

What a moron... A true American ^^

[JohnnyDesaint]

im cuban and lived in cuba my family members have died in the common people hospitals.because tourism is so big they must provide a good hosptal for tourist but not every cuban gets to enter.

[Freez57fr]

Fuck you lier.

[JohnnyDesaint]

are you just trying to find an argue buddy.what im i a lier about. people that tour cuba always come back and say wow its beautiful i dont know what they are complaining abou.its noe for the common people.

[Freez57fr]

@JohnnyDesaint

Cuba is not the best place to live, and it's better to live in America, of course.

If I had the choice between America or Cuba to live, I'll choose the USA.

BUT the fact is: Cuba has a advanced and free medicine. And everybody in Cuba can be treated.

Cuba is not the worst country of the world. Compared to the others latin-american countries, Cuba isn't worst.

You said: Cuba is dangerous and want a WW3... I say: LOL

[bolden212]

there should not be any more people suffering because health care costs are out of control. Hopefully something will be done about health care. There needs to be more affordable options for all American citizens.

[sinxjohn92ab]

Michael Moore for 2012 or 2016 PREZ!

[KyndestKid]

sinxhjohn92ab... i couldn't agree with you rmore Michale Moore for Precedent in 2016!!! I know some of you hate Michale Moore because he gives you an unfiltered view/truth of our American society. My response to any of you right right Oligarchs is simple... the wonders of the patriot act... Michael Moore is a patriot who acts!!!

[bolden212]

God bless Michael Moore. I hope that his documentary opens up people's eyes to the flaws and problems of the American Health care system. As long as some people keep denying what's happening to our health care system, change will not occur and future generations will suffer. That's not right. We all deserve better.

[greennova2010]

Last year we had the highest number of medical school applicants since AAMC was established. Two years ago we had about twice the number of applicants compare to 2003. But the number of medical schools and medical students in the U.S. did not increased. For those who believe in free market, Why the free market does not fix the shortage of doctors?

[eralfnoez]

Socialized medicine works, simple as that. Want proof? Look at Canada, Cuba, Mexico, Englend, France, and Austrailia. all have social medicine and all are still very wealthy countries. Its left wing extremeists that think only of themselves and measuse life by profit that keep the United States in the dark ages. Americans, please wake up from the brainwashed state you are in, socialism is not an evil thing. -Advocate of the Communist Party of Canada

[RadarGuidedVermin]

Fuck that, I'm not paying for this fat asshole's health care. He should of though about that before he started stuffing his pie hole full of Twinkies. Try trading your Little Debbie's in for an exercise bike.

[Deridium]

"He should of though about..." Your grasp on the english language is astounding. Go back to school and learn how to write a coherent sentence radarguideddumb-ass.

[RadarGuidedVermin]

A dropped letter is a typo, not a mistake. By the way, "English" is capitilized, dipshit.

[Deridium]

So I suppose you also dropped a letter when you spelt capitalized wrong as well. You sir, are a fucking moron in every sense of the word. Just do the world a favor and kill yourself....really

[RadarGuidedVermin]

LOL! "spelt" LOL!

It's "spelled," you fucking moron. Get an education.

[rlugz0356]

I was born in Cuba and I must tell you The Govt. Health Care does not work !

Any country that has tried Socialism has failed miserably, they live in rags and food is ration by the elite "The Party Leaders"

[rlugz0356]

in Mexico unless you are a Mexican Citizen , public hospitals wont treat you unles you have $. or they will refuse treatment. ( We should the same to non citizens here, specially the illegals). better yet if you are not a Mexican citizen your children are not allowed in Public Schools you must send them to private school.

So go tell your lies to someone else !

CAPITALISM IS THE ONLY WAY !

[Freez57fr]

The UK and France are capitalist countries...

But they have a free health care... And French and British health care are better than the US health care, and by far...

[rlugz0356]

Please research your facts you are either ignorant or totaly mis informed. Check ou the tax rate they pay and the quality of their heaalthcare. for heavens sake just look at the teeth of the Brits. the rationing and the wait time fort treatments.

Stop drinking the Koolaid and open your eyes.

[Freez57fr]

I'm French asshole, so don't trie to teach me HOW are the Europeans countries.

I'm better informed than you.

Your health care is SHIT. Why don't you want to admit it? Because of your Uncle Sam's ego?

[Freez57fr]

You're saying full bullshits.

We don't have to wait in France, and we have the best medicine of the world.

It's known and proved.

Don't be hypocrit.

France, England and Canada are Capitalist countries, but we don't let the poors and destitutes dying like dogs.

Yes we pay taxes, but we have a best medicine.

Your hospitals are shitty, and while we pay taxes, you pay private insurances which just want to fuck you.

[zoomustard]

Just total up ALL the taxes you pay along with your health insurance premiums and see what you really pay per year. Then remember YOU can lose YOUR coverage at any time for any reason. Eyes open yet?

[01joydivision]

I'm from the UK. 89.9% of people here support the NHS over an american style system. We pay LESS per head and get MORE for that, our healthcare is rated higher.

There are only waiting lists for optional operations, or things that can wait with no bad effects to the patient. All necessary surgery is immidiate, you can see you doctor within a few days of making an appointment, you are told a lot of lies by Fox news. It is part of the social contract, those who need help get it.

[FFLOVER525]

@01joydivision Im American, the NHS does have flaws, but they are no where near the flaw of the Private HS. We know this, but not much we can really do about it....I mean come on we don't even get to truly pick who our Pres. is....You are right tho...our current HCS is bullshit and/or "bollocks".

[baredd79]

@01joydivision You Europeans need to get it through your thick head that not all of us Americans want to be like you.

[rlugz0356]

So why dont you move to one of these countries?

[whoo689]

The system has not "failed." Sure, it's 'failed' to give every single person health insurance, but come on! No service is available to every single person on the free market! That's just how the market works. Tough shit. Life sucks, get used to it. Find a way to help people afford it, not give it to them free using MY or everyone else's tax dollars to enlarge government.

Stupid welfare liberals. Their only solution to these problems is to EXPAND gov't. They have no others.

[whoo689]

Silly Michael. The lobbyists and corporations don't "prevent" 47 million from having healthcare! It's poverty that prevents many of them from having it. Or some people's irresponsibility to actually save money for healthcare and get insured, like the millions in that group who made over 50,000 a year. You'd THINK they could easily afford healthcare. Or the people who had an 800k house but couldn't afford healthcare for their kids. Bull-fucking-shit!

[whoo689]

Moore's movie, like all his documentaries, is just full of shit. It's factually in the toilet, and he's once again promoting tired ideas that have been debunked time and time again. Why does this moron even bother anymore?? Who takes Michael Moore seriously now? The guy's made a total joke of himself with his shitty films.

Moore takes a seemingly-good premise, like "we should get everyone insured" and turns it into "Let's give the healthcare system over to gov't to fuck it up!"

[whoo689]

Hopefully the lobbyists weren't nearly as ignorant about the healthcare issue as average Americans, so they could easily see through this BS of a movie. Of course, that excludes the idiots who run interest groups that actually think NHS is a GOOD idea, as well as idiot Congressmen who support nationalizing the entire system just get 10 or 20 million people insured. Don't buy into that 47 million bullshit number. It's a total lie.  Everyone who's looked into the number knows this.

[eralfnoez]

Amen Brother!!!

[haightstreetcrier]

evidence of how our failed health care system DOESN'T WORK

youtube com/watch?v=DxJtyIjjmEA

[MishuTaste]

LOL. You go, Michael Moore.

[demliars]

Does anyone think under government healthcare they'd even get a chance to hire the same Dr.s that pulled those 5 democrats out of the Presidents colon the other day? Of course not, us common folk will get "public" dr.'s, mostly the affirmitive action types. Hope that special feeling "diversity" is supposed to give you kicks in right before the gas takes effect.

[atlcowboy2536]

I wonder where Michael Moore will go for health care when he has his fist heart attack

[TOILETLOG]

pie in the sky dreams from a left-wing loser. hey moore, canada and britain called, they want their crap-ass universal health care failures to stay with them.

[Plisko1]

Maybe we should wait till you get sick and your insurance company weasles out of it and leaves you to go bankrupt. Lets talk then.

[demliars]

My God man, can you name anything government has done better than private industry?

Government keeps mandating what health policys have to include, MOST OF WHICH most people don't need.

That and freebies fore the "poor" and the "elderly"(who are the richest Americans) have caused our problems. So now you want the fox to run the henhouse.

[Plisko1]

How about the post office? Does UPSs send letters for 39 cents? How about the police? Will Blackwater come investigate for you if your house is robbed? How about the fire department? How about libraries? Is there a private industry that loans out free books and internet access? How about highways? What private enterprise gives us free access to roads? I sewar you free market fundimentalists are worse than people brainwashed by a cult.

[demliars]

Everything you think of as free costs you double triple what it should if you look at the taxes you pay. Free books? Please!

You're a total dumbass if you want that same beaurocracy to command your health care. The federal government alone spends $8000 for every man women and child in this country, the FEDS ALONE! Then we get state city county local... on and on and shit brains like you think stuff is free.

And yes the aliens will come and take your health care, they already have!

[medley007]

I was in a car wreck..Deemed a "Act Of God" Did not pay, as I did for 10+yeaRS AT THAT TIME..DEER=gOD.. Insurance people, are liers.

[nohealthcare62]

I paid $7 grand a year when I got cancer They gave me VIOXX this good ole Blue Cross Blue Shiled ...They didnt want to remove my Cancer !

[cfbastiat]

Why are people asking for a bigger nanny state? Whatever happened to the belief in freedom? After all, freedom is what creates prosperity. Shouldn't people be allowed to choose what they want without having it forced on them? Let people voluntarily pay into a universal health fund but don't force us all to pay. Politicians can't repeal the laws of supply and demand. The real answer is to get government entirely out of the health care industry and expose it to proper competition.

[forwardmarch]

No, "proper competition" has only made it skyrocket. The reason it works for EVERY OTHER INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRY is because it's not profit-based. An item that costs $5 is not blown up to the preposterous sum of $1000 by the time it gets to the patient.

[xy11xy]

Do you consider medical care "forced"?

Maybe we should eliminate oxygen so that everyone can have the freedom to choose whether to breathe or not. The oxygen breathers are imposing on my right to not breathe.

Universal means ALL. All hail the god of supply and demand.

[johnedwards1968]

There's nothing wrong with having a basic universal health care coverage, and still having supplemental insurance. That's what we have in Canada, and it seems to work pretty well.

[hquest98]

It sounds like you really do not have a competent understanding of a universal healthcare system. Just because a government has a healthcare system set up for its people doesn't mean that we are a Communist nation - although I know that's probably what you were raised to believe. I was, too.

[demliars]

No it just means we have socilaized an industry. Going forward we will have worse care, more expensive care and a bigger less efficient beaurocracy.

Just wonderful!

[Plisko1]

Yes just look at the gross failure socializing the Fire department was. . . People should have a choice between the socialized fire department and choosing their own private fire department. Roads. . man what a failure socializing highways and streets were. We should be able to choose between the government streets and privately run streets. . . You see where this is going? Some things are too importaint to privatize and people living or dying qualifies as one of those things.

[demliars]

LOL, ask a fireman to give you your next bypass dumbass. And you can bet it won't be the same fireman that does Clintons next bypass.

YOU, are considered cattle by democrats. You will end up with a vet(ernarian). They will get top notch services as always, government employess always do.

[Plisko1]

Does the same fireman that puts out the fire in Clinton's neighbor's house put out the fire in Clinton's house? I'm afraid he does so you just defeated your own argument. Thanks for the boogyman. If we get universal care are aliens going to come and get me too ?

[Freshmanwave]

Don't mind demliars; we believe he's committing "trolling", as Wikipedia puts it.

[demliars]

So know you have a "competent" understanding and YOU LOVE BIG BROTHER! Good for you! So why don't you leave the rest of us the fuck alone and just stumble into your nearest emergency room for free as all you friends do whenever you have a problem.

[michelle297136]

Michael Moore speaks for Most of America! Thank God someone is watching our backs!

[uniquebsame]

I find it a very tragic state of affairs when American's have only viewed this video 1,470 times, only 13 comments as to date and only 8 favorites when most you "sickos" have nothing better else to watch but other "sickos." watch STUPID video's that don't mean a hill of beans. Again, WAKE UP AMERICA! THE CLOCK IS TICKING FOR THIS COUNTRY!

[drummermylo]

Lol what's up with that dude getting in Michael's face??

[darbymsu]

Those Waskcally Wobbyist...

[Harry0404]

go..michael moore..!

[SallyH499]

If you want to find out more about the two single payer plans that Micheal Moore supports HR 676 (national plan) and SB840 (California state bll)go to myspace . com /onecarenoworg (without the spaces, of course)

[DaXue]

This is being picky, but I'm amazed by how Moore has been on the national stage in some manner since the turn of the century and he has yet to develop sophisticated speaking skills. I'm sure that's brought up by the less-than-gracious 'critics'.

[polyflavor]

MM isn't a politician and I don't see any reason he would have to develop sophisticated speaking skills. He manages to stay on topic, and say what he plans to say without getting too emotional or saying anything regrettable about the pernicious folks he's attacking. He's a regular guy. I don't think he needs to stop being that.

[DaXue]

I wasn't talking about his being or not being a politician. Arianna Huffington, a blogger and commentator, sounds very much like a politician, but isn't. I was just saying that for all his time on camera, I'm surprised that his speaking skills aren't any better than they were seven years ago.

[animecard]

lol "Healthcare wobbyist" ahahaha!!!

[greatbroad]

I was a member of toastmasters and it is amazing how some people can improve their speaking skills and have a lot of fun. There are some people who hated speaking in public, and I understand G.Washington spoke quietly.

[gloryoski]

Did you get that? HR 676!(I'm asking seriously because it took me a while to find which of these videos he said it in.)

One place you can read the bill (or a summary) is at thomas dot loc (library of congress) dot gov.

[chervilant]

In an exchange of emails with a prominent Health Care Lobbyist, I discovered that such individuals seem loathe to stepping outside their box and understanding what Moore is trying to say. I expect these lobbyists to be increasingly derisive, belligerent, defensive, or some combination thereof. I don't expect them to help solve this problem, because such a response would seriously erode their profit margin. God knows, the Almightly Dollar is far more important than human life.

[oldhacks]

America fought harder for booze then for medicine in this country.

[SOMUCHFORFREEMEDIA]

GREAT WORK POLITCSTV !
