Ameritards, in general, are one of the most undisciplined when it comes to leading a healthy lifestyle. I see so many people every day who are basically immobile, the sole reason appears to be they are FATBUCKETS. Also the amount of people in this country who abuse drugs/alcohol/food, has to be one of the highest in the world. Maybe the government should encourage insurance companies to give BIG discounts to their insured clients, for meeting certain health markers (weight, bp, nonsmoker,etc).
LoL, funny thing is this guy would be considered too heavy to be covered by the healthcare act XD
LoL again: 26% approval = good?
Furthermore, Its good that these guys are doing this on some sidewalk stairs, theyre practicing being poor... Which is what Universal healthcare will make them!
And yes, America used to be about competition. You get what YOU earn, for better or worse. If you want a land of fake rainbows where everyone holds hands, go somewhere else, don't drag all of us down too.
Healthcare is the single most important issue in the 2008 election. United States is the only Western industrialized nation with out universal healthcare. The private sector is not stable enough for healthcare. Our own health is at stake here. Kucinich is the only canidate who coauthored the HR 676 bill, a bill that was supposed to lead to a more healthier and prosperous America through single-payer, universal healthcare.
We as a nation should be ashamed to have people die because of the more important profits and greed. What kind of people are we? Are we so barbaric and sociopathic as to let people die for no other apparent reason other than money and selfishness? We need Universal Health Care! Enough is enough!
Serious question. Suppose they do not have any money and have major surgery, etc. Should they not also be entitled to housing, transportation if they cannot pay their bills? Should these items be tied into a comprehensive package?
This issue is about health care. This issue is not about housing and transportation. This issue is not a poor person's issue. This issue is affecting 48 million people without insurance due to denial of pre-existing conditions, which out of a list of hundreds of items is acne. In addition, due to high premium costs. This issue you have not educated yourself on obviously.
I am steadily working on the educating part. I understand that we are talking about healthcare. My q was that I am trying to understand why this would not also be a poor person issue? Thanks.
It is good that you are trying to educate yourself on the issue. One book I suggest reading is "Critical Condition" by Donald L. Barlett & James B. Steele. This issue effects every stratus class of the American people, i.e., employers can not afford, employees switch jobs, pre-existing conditions, etc.
Yes, this does effect "poor persons". How it effects them is they are faced with decisions of paying insurance or paying for heating or paying insurance or paying for food. They do not make enough to cover both. Just put yourself in that position and tell me how easy it would be for you.
Yes, this does effect what used to be the "middle-class". How it effects them is from big to small businesses they can not afford to pay high insurance. They blame "labor" costs, but the real cost is the insurance. They refuse to pay or they adopt less coverage for employees. When they get laid off, the former employees get offered "COBRA", but it's cost is too high. In between jobs people go without or get refused if they have pre-existing conditions.
Yes, this does effect the "rich and ultra rich". How it effects them is the "labor costs" are much higher. They reduce the amount of coverage and force employees to pay more. The real costs are the insurance premiums. If they try to get individual insurance themselves, they are denied or waived because of pre-extisting conditions. Remember, the insurance companies are in the business of denying benefits.
Michael is absolutely correct in his speach. If he were not, then why are there so very many supporters, cheering, and agreement? Universal health care is the way to go.
I never believed in universal healthcare until I started doing home health care. After seeing how the poor people are treated in my hometown, I now truly feel we must elect a President in 2008 who will bring this to our country. Let's all get on the boat together.
Where, oh where, are insightful forward thinking candidates like Mr. Moore when this country needs them. I turned 18 on the first year 18 year olds were allowed to vote. (1972) I have yet to vote for ANYBODY but the lesser of the evils that are running. Never have I had a choice of someone that actually deserved to be the President of this awesome nation. Will I ever have that choice before I die?
I live SO close to the capital, and a friend called me up and told me he was here...I didn't get the message until AFTER he had left :( I love you Michael, thanks for all you do!
Gay Republicans like Matt Drudge and Andrew Sullivan are flipping out about Michael Moore and saying that he's a "fat slob" who should shut up and stick with the Hollywood crowd. Why do these gay Republicans despise him so much and keep obsessing on his weight?
great mantra at the end of the clip, a lot more memorable than anything O'Hannity will say tonight...we have the money, Bush pissed it away for a hand job to each every defense contractor on his Father's A list at Jr's former employer Carlyle Group...without Mike we'd still be waving pathetic little flags on our SUV's and promoting murder, theft, and Bush's personal plunder in the middle east, a place the Bush die-nasty knows well, hello Bandar, FU!
Very inspirational! Thank you Michael Moore, and thanks to the people of Denver too....WAKE UP EVERYBODY to the health care situation we face, it's nothing short of scandalous!

FACT: According to the U.S. Census Bureau:
Of the 45 million uninsured Americans:
18 million are aged 18-34 - they spend 4 times more on alcohol and dining-out and spent zero for MEDICAL insurance
17 million Americans earn over $50,000 dollars and choose NOT to purchase insurance
9 million Americans earn over $75,000 per year and choose NOT to purchase insurance
