Eye To Eye: Michael Moore (CBS News)

[unreal672010]

This movie really shocked me and im amazed how Americans are dealing with such a health care system like this and i am glad i live in australia who has universal health care , just the other week the gov in australia medicare granted me a $4000 dental sevice now i can get my fillings and crowns done , or other wise i would of been rat shit if it wasnt for our system, same gos with hospital services there just amazing.

[olympic007]

Wow the US is fucked up I feel sorry for the people...... get the money out of politics and the rest will follow

[k3304]

why didnt Mike ask Cuba for obesity stomach staple ?

[log140]

wondering how they made hillary shut up...

she gets most money from the health care industry:-)

[sammunster7]

I totally agree with this guy, and i agree that insurance companies will screw us at any time they can. And i agree that this health care system sucks, however i do not agree with the plans to change this healthcare. It is not a good idea to allow the government to take over our healthcare. If you think that these videos of people about to die because they have been denied coverage from the incurance companies that thye have been paying into for years is sick, than multiply it by 2

[SuperMMfan]

care to back up that ill informed comment about "twice the number will die if it is one payer health care instead of the way it is now with health insure plans"?? Your ignorance is showing..I'm canadian & we have 85 % approval in regards to our health care system. Now if we had high numbers of our citizens dying bcs they were denied procedures by our govt do you think it would be that high? seriously get informed

[csrocker101]

Respectfully I disagree. Private insurance as you've seen actively try to deny people coverage. If you look at England and France's system they do *not* deny anyone treatment. It is that simple. If you're sick and you need treatment you will get it. There main success is preventative care (catching illnesses early) which reduces costly operations in the long run. Don't listen to the fear mongering of the right.

[RVsleep]

its like paying insurence for gas for 5 years straite with out ever missing a payment one time for just incause u run out of gas and cant pay and the pepople at the gas pump tell u they wont let u get gas cause u poped a tire on ur car thats wats hapeing pepole r geting FUCKED just think u pay 5 years 10$ a month but beacuse u did report a flat tire from a year befor they dont let u get gas they r legaly robing amaericans MONOPLY scheam.......

[mills7226]

To all that are against this "Socialist Healthcare" I expect you to put your children in private school, hire private security to watch over your house and mail every piece of mail Fed Ex or UPS at $7 a piece instead of the change the USPS charges because these government run "Socialist" schools, police department and post office's are just ruining this country. Watch the movie before you start moving your lips.

[mauvewolf]

[TraceyMariexx]

"Above all, do no harm" ain't that part of the Hippocratic Oath Doctors take.. How the hell this is adhered to is beyond me when many people cant afford Health insurance and suffer greatly..some even die.

Obama is a god send to your country. Michael Moore could not have said it better its "We the people" not "Me the people"

I'm proud to live in a country that has free health care and I hope Americans one day can say the same.

[frio109]

Micheal Moo Moore sucks. Vote No to Obama Health Scare TAX SCAM

[RebeccaInes]

"The US is a wealthy, industrialized nation that does not ensure that all citizens have coverage." The US is ranked 37th in the world as worst coverage for its citizens. (WHO) Estimates of 18-22,000 Americans die simply due to no health insurance, we spend 6k per capita, while other countries spend 2k per person. Americans on average live around 68 years old, while a French citizen lives up to 75. "The oil that keeps the capitalist machine running is greed."

[snakeweirdo]

Castro is the win!

[chrissybn01]

Thank God for the NHS, I know if I need to see my doc I just call and make an appointment, usually in a day or so, if I need some kind of specialist care then I may have to wait awhile, but the option is there for those who can afford it to take the private care option, no one is EVER EVER refused treatment, my only problem with it is the nurses don't get paid enough, don't knock universal health care, it works !

[chrissybn01]

What the hell is the matter with some of the idiots posting on here, here's a guy making a film about a health care system that just doesn't work, he want's better for all Americans, I'm a Brit and I have to say that while our NHS could do better in some areas mostly it works well, no one EVER gets refused health care, no one, social medicine doesn't mean you're going to become a commie, for God's sake, don't you want your people to have access to good medical care ?

[jluis333]

I am a Dr. working on a shitty salary in socialized medicine in portugal, Europe. Waiting lists for a specialized treatment are years and the bulk of the bill goes to goverment deficit. Hell France has a 40 billion dollar deficit in health care. To sum it up we all want that great health care that none of us can or want to pay!

[837383998]

jluis 333

your no doctor hell your just a jerk trying to pass off yourself as a doctor

[jluis333]

And how the fuck do you know this for a fact? Just because I don't really love socialist health care? And who will pay the bill for health budget deficit?

[hammer231984]

I certainly hope you are not a medical doctor. You aren't very articulate, which leads me to question if you could have even attended university.

You have to understand that health care is not a business. The intent of that system is not to produce profit.

... and I have a very hard time picturing a Portuguese physician describing the national health care system as "socialized medicine". That is unless you are a physician with a right wing American talking points fetish.

[hetjaar]

mm is a fat disgusting slob. any health care system will go broke trying to take care of this mentally sick moron. he wants socialism. it worked real well in russia. this idiot is insane.

[lordzeno666]

I am an american now living in Australia and I can tell you the universal health care here is far and away a better system than what we have in the US. Not only is the profit motive not involved, but the basics, like the pill for my wife are 4 TIMES CHEAPER than what we paid in the US...with insurance!

[philipmontag]

Keep spreding the word buddy. You've got a few people profiteering off how broke our healtcare system is a paying a lot of money for legislation and media to keep it broke. The only thing standing against them are us, people getting to truth out!

[peacejones]

It only takes a few small dogs to take down the big one. Go MM !!!

[12stepfailure]

Moore sucks forever.  Never will we accept socialized medicine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[nintendofanboy31]

You're such a greedy asshole dude.

Fuck you

I want to beat people like you upside the head.

Filthy neocon

[NFLdude505]

yea fuck socialized medicine

[nohealthcare62]

I was druged on the table ready for surgery i heard the nurses ask each-other where is the Dr.one said at the country club playing golf I sat up and they laughed and gave me more demerol to knock me out isnt that loveley?

[bobmon54]

I am a pharmacist. I got into RX in 1975,most Dr's then were son's of Dr's or people that wanted to help other people. I've never asked for a raise in my life. Most Dr's and pharmacists today cite profatability as a reason why they got into healthcare.We have too many lawyers- they can't be guaranteed a profit in law but you can in Health.

[holyshinn]

Type 1 Diabetic, uninsurable, Austin, Texas.

Cost of monthly drugs & supplies $700,

Cost for stem cell treatment in Germany to possibly cure my disease $12k,

Money the pharmafucks have made off of me slowly dying since I was diagnosed 6 years ago, over $50k.

Seeing an end to the corruption of HMO's & greedy Dr's (hippocratic oath anyone?) priceless

[Atom05851]

Only one presidential candidate is not taking funds from private insurance companies. Only one presidential candidate has a viable and realistic plan for universial health care. Only one presidential candidate has been endorsed by Michael Moore, and I'm sorry he wasn't mentioned in this clip. That one candidate is Dennis Kucinich.

[webfulfill]

The U.S. also has the largest percentage of misdiagnoses in the world. Lost my grandfather and an uncle to that in two tragic stories, one of which was the fault of the insurance company. Everytime I go into the doctors office in America, I see all these billing people, but very few medical people. I wonder if he'll talk about that in the film?

[Suz45]

I too have lost several family memebers to misdiagnoses,and once they got it right,had to fight for both to get adequate treatment and medication,in one case just to ease her pain.

This adminstration threw the sick and dying first responders under the bus,yet is threatening to charge both Moore and those he brought to Cuba for hekp. ultimate hypocrisy.

We all deserve to have a light shone on the situation. Bravo to Michael.

[Natalie923]

Yes. I agree. I was told for years nothing with wrong with me. Recently I pursued my intution and went to a neurologist. I was diagnosed with brain cancer and have 2 months to live. I praise MMoore for speaking up for those who are unable to be heard.

[webfulfill]

I am so sorry to hear that. My prayers are with you. Moore is an angel. We will continue to fight with Moore to save lives and prevent furthur tragedies by changing the system. It really is a lot better in Europe where I recently moved. Socialized medicine really is wonderful for everyone rich or poor.
