  • dumb + dumb = Michael Moore. I'm a Cuban who just recently got out of that big prison that my country has become under communism, and I can't believe Michael Moore's level of stupidity!! so many things wrong with his documentary. It's a shame, don't believe any of that...it's a lie!!!

  • They forced Bob Cutlass, I mean Costas, to say Canada was the winner.... what a disappoint! that kind of "truthfulness" in the USA is so awful.

  • mmm hmm!

  • I believe there is some Republican nut that wants to abolish Medicare in the US.

  • $450.70! Ah, back in the good ole days when it cost less than $1,000 to go to the ER. I wonder what that price would be now.

  • The poor and minorites do not have a voice in America and never did so I feel the least we can do is give them something so that they wont have to suffer as much such as socialized medience. Health care is RIGHT and NOT a privilage. EVERYBODY should have access to good health care, doctors, gyms and fresh food 24/7. I dont see why America is so hesitant to provide this. We are the richest country in the world and can afford to take care of everybody but we dont. Thats just straight up murder.

  • I just think America should really be ashamed of itself when it comes to Health Care issues. In America, many people here dont have health insurance and die because they dont have health insurance most of them being the poor and minorites. We have the highest infant morality and lowest low expectancy of all the rest of the developed nations but yet we are the richest country in the world, also most of these people are the poor and minorities.

  • @SapphireDiamond19 The US does offer a free health federal program to low income people. It's called Medicaid. And it is usually supplemented by State programs. And America's "highest infant mortality rate" is largly because the US uses the strictess guidlines.

    You seem like you have victimhood mentality.

  • Yeah but you seem to forget that the majority of these doctors do not accept Medicaid and they would still have to pay out of pocket for their health care. Even private insursers say that if you have a pre existing condition then health insurance wont cover for it because American Health Care is dominated by greedy corporations more concerned with putting money in their pocket then helping out the American people. I call for reform and I cant wait till 2014 when it finally comes into effect

  • @SapphireDiamond19 Your claim that the majority of "these doctors" do not accpet Medicaid is another lie.

  • No. Why do you think they dont accept it? Its because its a state ran health care payment system and when they treat the patient that has Medicaid, the state takes too long in order to pay the doctors for their services so thats why they dont accept Medicaid or Medicare. Why do you think the Republicans want to get rid of it so badly? Because they want to privatize everything so that they can make their rich friends richer. Keep corporations out the Health Care system

  • @SapphireDiamond19 Yes, some doctors do not accept Medicaid. But again, the majority of doctors do accept Medicaid.

    Now this gets amusing. You stated above that the reason doctors don't accept Medicaid is because of State run health care payment system. You just made a factual case against government run health care.

    Freudian slip?

  • Nice voice. Mhmm.

  • ok,a glossologist: why do Cubans pronounce "m" as "n"?Adelaida is...let them go....

  • mhmm.

  • It's strange that a person that promotes freedom premotes.

    A Country that will jail you if you if you refuse to work.

    A Country that treats gays with electro shock therapy.

    A Country in which only the politically connected get healthcare.

    A Country that has an average wage of 12$ a month.

    A Country that doesn't have free speech.

    A Country that doesn’t have Democracy.

  • @simontimon2 i thumbed you up because i thought you were talking about usa.

  • I lived in cuba for 27 years ;and the health care there is good and nobody ask you if you got insurance or not ; its free ; now here in the USA if you dont have insurance you are in trobule ; you might get a huge bill to pay; and the care is so;so.....because the greed...this country is rich ; people dont have to go broke because they got sick....PEOPLE first money secund

  • Theres no point in debating people online that just make thing up.

  • Cuba with lack of resources??? The Assholes from the USA have an embargo to the Island nation and even though, they have better quality, of health care. FUCK THE USA>>>>

  • This is like a sicko pilot.

  • americans are so indoctrinated by their government. I bet in some regions there are people who still believe, that the cold war is still running.

  • OPT OUT of blomacare..

    It's poison.!

    Nobody wants it...

  • @hadenufnow actually, 70% of americans do and thats why it passed. Another point for Democracy!!

  • here in the uk we dont pay,every1 gets great healthcare poor and rich,the uk is the best.freeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @jimpurdie Don't forget no wait and home service.

  • I am a Malaysian student studying in UK, I was hospitalised for 2 weeks last year at Royal Surrey Hospital due to sudden illness. The treatment was not only superb but beyond my expectation, even as non citizen they treated me as comrade. . . Thank God I choose to study in the UK and not America . . . now not only that I'm pro UK but I would bring my valuable experience to Malaysia. . . Pity my brother whom studying in America

  • America says... if you don't have a job, if you're poor, if you have a pre-existing medical condition ... you deserve to die.

  • @janebusby Totally. Screw greedy Americans!

  • clmarques: Not any more!

    He is not hated by the majority of Americans anymore. Maybe it is that the older, Republican dinosaurs are finally dying off--and becomming outnumbered by the younger generations which agree with Michael in most issues. Or maybe it is the excesses of the Bush-era government which ruined the country, and brought all of these faults in America into inescapable clarity.

  • @starnja2009 Any time Mike says something, it takes about 2 years for everybody else to get it. He made farrenheit, 2 years later everybody agreed with the movie 100 %. Same with Sicko, will be same with Capitalism.

  • Help Cuba! They deserve it

  • mmm did i see what i see.. it is obviously that Cuba is the first place winner in healtcare in the world. What kind of reason is "but until they solve their economic isolation, it would be hard to sustain their quality" it is a stupid statement, if it was a competition, Cuba won by far, and the given reason for not admittin so was a ridicule political statement, was the competition about how would be the healt in the future. wich country will have the best healt sistem or wich have it?Cuba

  • You know, Michael is hated by most of americans... if tv nation choses Cuba the hate would double!! But I think they chose Canada so those who think could post a comment like yours! :)

  • When did this air? 1994?

    It's sad that nothing has changed

  • I thought it was in 2004

  • It is not modern Cuba for sure. 1994 more likely. Including health care their infrastructure looks much worselacking Russian support by now .

  • Not sure what's more dumb, this video or christo930's atheist non-point.

  • This is really silly. Why don't they do a show about Heart disease or cancer. If I had a blockage, I would want that taken care of ASAP. My mom had several blockages and she was operated on in 2 days without ever leaving the hospital between the exploratory procedure and the bypass surgery. When all was said and done, she paid $10 for the initial visit to her Primary doctor and that was it. Of course, she had insurance.

  • why is this thumbs down? its true.

    whats wrong with you ppl?

  • i know a lot better than you about cuba, because i am from cuba, you has to see the documentary " shooting michael moore "

  • i was just saying that ppl marked ur comment as spam when all of what u said is true.

    so i was rhetorically asking what is wrong with all these ppl that are marking ur comment as spam/thumbs down.

    ill go check out that documentary. hopefullly its on youtube.

  • ignorant people has opinions without knowing the true.

  • Supposedly, Cuba actually "won" this contest, but NBC officials wouldn't let that air. So Moore had to change the outcome to give Canada the win.

  • Actually, this is true... I really can't show concrete evidence, but here's this: Who in the U.S. would want to see a supposed Communist country win (those countries that say they're communists mostly aren't, but yes in certain aspects)? Since we had an embargo on Cuba during TV Nation, of course the network wouldn't allow Cuba to win... Free healthcare, no waiting, and cheap medicine, Cuba SHOULD have won...

  • free healthcare? how is it free? makes no sense.

    no waiting? ur comparing the elite cuban hospitals to our normal hospitals, and they are still lying about our hospitals.

    cheap? again, who do u think pays for it? nothing is free. damn idiots.

  • TV Nation was one of the funniest and most thought-provoking shows I've ever seen. Hopefully all TV Nation episodes will be available on Hulu someday so people can have the chance to continue supporting the show in some small way!

  • WAKE UP AMERICA....There are 1 billion people on this earth without clean drinking water. It only costs $10/person to build a well for every single person in the world. That's $10 billion dollars(i.e. one month in Iraq). What is our problem and where are our priorities!?!?!?? Can't we be known as the people that did that, compared to what were known for now? We could even put a little plaque on each well for $1/well & have it say"Brought to you by America"!

  • the unintentional punt lmao

  • kkk que lixo esse pais (USA) kk depois falam que são primeiro mundo rsrsrs cuba humilhou

  • interesting how in our age of information so many are misinformed and some choose to continue to promote misinformation and accomplish to promote ignorance the suffering of others

  • lol, i love how they got the whole sportscasting thing going on, especially with instant replay

    god i wish this was still on TV

    or at least on DVD...

  • After all Cuba has been through they manage to keep a high quality health care system, that's something to be considered.

  • Why do Canadian, Brits, and the French all live longer than Americans?? Most American's have been brainwashed... please wake up and support HR 676(Universal/Christianized Healthcare!!!)

  • :O why do you call that a "christianized" healthcare??? If universal help was christian, why would the vatican would keep all their money as a secret treasure?

    Universal Healthcare is HUMANIST, not christian!

  • alouette888.... it should be called Christianized helthcare. THe bible talks about helping the poor the 2nd most, only next to redemption. Therefore, I have on question for you my uneducated friend... who would Jesus deny healthcare too and say "I'm sorry becuase your poor you have to die, so that we can give more tax cuts to the wealthiest 5% of Americans?" I'm not religous, but was raised a baptist and our US healthcare system is the most sick, immoral system ever created.WHO WOULD JESUS DENY!

  • The bible say a lot, but see what the Vatican do, MORON

    The French, British and Britains don't give a shit about Jesus, they just thithat healthcare MUST be universal.

    Why do you call me unaducated????

    I agree that the US system is sick, and wouldn't love to live there!

  • That's ridiculous to imply something good and humane like universal health care should be credited to Christianity. What about all the other religions in the world that you're just isolating? And for that matter, if you categorize it as Christianized health care, it's not universal anymore because not everyone is Christian.

  • If Jesus existed and was truly the god in human form, then he has denied healthcare to more human beings than anyone in the history of mankind. You see, instead of healing a few sick people in the middle east 2k years ago, he could have explained the germ theory of disease and stopped untold suffering. He could have shown man how to make anti-biotics, for example.

    So you see, Jesus is the most inhumane character in the history of mankind.

  • You gotta love those stupid Christians. They try to take credit for every good thing ever done while denying all of the harm they caused. Want some good Christian health care? The Catholic church has sent missionaries into aids ridden Africa and preached to them that the use of condoms is a sin.

    They are opposed to a vaccine that prevents a certain STD that causes pelvic cancer because it would remove an incentive to not have premarital sex. How's that for good ol' fashion Christianity?

  • How does the our US medical system figure that an ace bandage costs freakin' $44??!!

  • In the book that went with the series, Moore revealed that the Cubans were clear winners BUT the network said they'd pull the piece if they showed Cuba winning - I dunno, advertisers might crap themselves or something - so in order to broadcast it, they had to place them second...

  • this is great TV

  • That female Cuban doctor is hot.

  • Bull Crap. If I were sick and had the choice of those three countries, I'd go to Cuba any day of the week. Who would like to wait forever in Canada? Who would like the costs of the US? I'd go for the free immediate attention. And guess what? years later, Cuba still has free and brilliant health care.

  • Cube actually came in first

  • Somewhere some people are making a profit off of sick people. Shame on them.

  • im cuban, is true that in cuba healthcare is free FREE, medicines costs nothing (hard to find them but we are in a poor country)cubans has no worry about medicare, healthcare is not a bussiness there, no private clinic waits for your desease to ear money and make profits.

  • Scary that only in America there is a persistign debate of whats best in healthcare. Most other countries have accepted that Socialized medecine is by far the best alternative.

  • Wow! I never thought Michael Moore had a TV show before "The Awful Truth". Thanx 4 sharing this!

  • Comment removed

  • Yes, I read that too. It was in "Adventures in a TV Nation."

  • I agree... You can't really factor in speculation as to wether or not Cuba will be able to keep up its standards (I think Sicko demonstrates that it has) in the future... At the time, the Cuban hospital simply gave their paitent the best care, regardless of wether they could do the same five or ten years down the track...

  • Yeah, there's an interview with Moore conducted by Democracy Now's Amy Goodman where he explains how NBC first barred him for showing Cuba as the winner, then deceitfully edited Canada into 1st place before air time.

    Clever idea.

    I have to say though, its totally deceptive to say that Cubans pay nothing. They're nearly fully taxed, so they pay for their medical service before their paycheck arrives, not at the hospital.

    Clever and probably stirs peoples' minds, but not honest.

  • @lactoseme

    The network changed it because the angry sponsors threatened to pull their commercials. These corporations dictated media propaganda, they demanded and got political censorship FFS but now NewsCorp do it so routinely its meh.

    The Tea Party and their GOP/militia/libertarian pals would loudly do their total fucking nut if the govt. interfered in an entertainment segment so blatantly - but when its good old capitalists, why that's just good patriotic American freedom and enterprise.

  • GO CANADA!! proud to be Canadian...our doctors are fantastic! Michael Moore is great.

  • HA HA HA!

    Only in America is it illegal to "hire willing cheap labor" but it IS legal to stay sick and die b/c you are too poor/under insured, etc.!

  • go cuba go cuba go cuba go cuba you're winners baby!!!

  • Health and Education are basic human rights, its so weird that in the US you have to be a millionaire if you get sick or want to have a career =S

  • Thank you, Michael, for opening our eyes. I have also been turned away for medical treatment (heart condition) because I have no insurance, or money.This is so wrong, & inhumane to put a price on human life. Please keep up the good work, we need u.

  • what a mess is this world, free insurance the cost, the health´s workers salary

  • what's funny is how the Cuban hospital does so much more with so much less.

  • thank you for having this up

  • i want free health insurance!

  • did he say 44 dollars for a BAND-AID?! This system is a HUGE sad joke!!!

  • Man, this makes me want to break my leg and go to Cuba right now! If all of these big corporations weren't afraid to lose money the embargo on Cuba would be lifted and we'd learn from them.

  • You liar! Cuba won hands down! This is so rigged! Canada performed very badly in this race. I know where I would want to be if I had a leg injury.

  • Yeah NBC told Moore that Cuba cnouldn't win they really did

  • USA is filled with the worst human beings in the world and health care! What health care?

  • haahhaha go canada , i remember , i fell on a broken glass and cut my hand deep , It took 5 mins for an ambulance too pick me up , 10 min to get to hospital (wasnt rushing cause it wasnt a emergency) 5 mins in line and 15 mins of surgery. cost = 0$

  • Actually there is a charge for ambulance services in Canada, though that's probably covered if one has supplementary insurance.

  • That was really funny. You know, Michael Moore said that Cuba won because the patient wasn't charged anything, but the network screeners wouldn't allow him to say that on TV.

    GO USA!

    Hopefully we'll win the gold in the next Health Care Olympics!

  • He said that Canada won not Cuba. I would look at the WHO's overall health care rankings which put Canada at 30th ahead of the US at 37th but the US ahead of Cuba at 39th.

  • In the TV Nation book it does say that the network changed the winner because a "commie" country winning would lower ratings.

  • they charge for the bandage in US? don't that seems abit too extreme?

  • jrcoffee62... You are right, nothing is free. If you do a bit of research though, you will find that the general health, happiness, and lifespan are better in countries with free health care. In those countries, unlike the unites states the people also have better mental health. The united states takes those billion that should go into health care, and shares it amongst a small top elite group of greedy monsters.

  • In the video the guy in Canada didn't pay anything?

    Who paid his medical bill? The Government? I don't really think the government paid the bill, because the government has no money, except the money they take from the people.

    In other words, health care in Canada is no more free than health care is in the USA.

  • Obviously, because there's no such thing as crown or state owned corporations in Canada. /sarcasm

  • Well when you have to stitch your lip together with a needle and thread the how and who pays looses some meaning and importance. On the plus side I did such a good job that I have no scar. Well I was off by about a centimeter on edge but still it's hard to notice.

  • no offence but from what you are saying it sounds you are really ignorant on this matter. Most of the world CIVILIZED country in the world offer free medical assistance (France, UK, Italy, Germany, Canada, and many more) This makes the USA certainly a good place for people with money but HELL for mid class or lower class pleople therefore in my opinion USA is NOT a CIVILIZED COUNTRY.

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

    youtube com/watch?v=DxJtyIjjmEA

  • This is a good link foghaze. For those of you that haven't read it it says how a doctor he works in financial medical investments bought up 33.4% of the stock in the film's distribution company, and the planned theaters went from 1600 to 400. You can find the story on digg com by searching on "doctor buys 33.4"

  • TV Nation was a great show. Good old fashioned satire!

  • American healthcare blows! Anyone who thinks it doesn't is either brainwashed or has never had to deal with insurance companies. Health for profit!? Ridiculous.

  • Unfortunately, that is part of our American culture. Sell whatever you can sell to make money. We'd sell you the air if we could get away with it.

    God bless the wealthy.

  • I LOVE this video! Michael Moore has a great sense of humor, sometimes not as diplomatic as I'd like but definitely able to meet his objective. Awesome.

  • Im Canadian and the health care is great. Just some people will go in for a cut finger or a bump on their head because it doesnt cost anything. Also we are low staff. But i would rather have to wait 2 hrs then pay like some americans do.

    GO CANADA GO!!!!!

  • I'm an American. I had to wait two hours the last time I saw a doctor. It's happened to me many times. Commercial health care doesn't do anything to reduce wait times.

  • Doctor Buys 33.4% of Lions Gate Shares 1 Week before the Release of Michael Moore's SICKO..

    Read this article.

  • Micheal moore as president!!! get the clowns out of office before another 9-11 or more families die in the war!!!

  • TV nation sucked!!

  • Stupid!

  • Wow ..that midget costas actually took his head out of his ass long enough to do something useful

  • Awesome. And this is only "biased" in the sense that it is factual. Reality has a well-known liberal bias.

  • Is this the segment that inspired Michael Moore to make Sicko?

  • Strange comments strand. Great video.

  • this is my comment.. eehummmn... here i press Post Comment,,, EHUMnnmnmmmnn... here it ends EHUMM....

  • NEWS ALERT!

    Dr. Sanjay Gupta Confirms he is a 'Douche'

    In a stunning turn of events, Dr. Gupta has admitted publicly that he is a "Major Douche Bag". CNN was unavailable for comment.

    .

  • this is an entirely unbiased video.

  • i'm a doctor for ever! <uhum>

  • someone should screen these comments for signs of idiocy. K3304 would probably be banned...

  • very nice!.. if you want some high quality academic background from the most cited and declared the most important intellectual THAT YOU MAY NEVER HEARD ABOUT (Noam Chomsky) who presents an undisputed staggering amount of evidence for the reasons behind world events(including Iraq and the middle east) subscribe to my channel.

  • Jtea, what was Chomsky's ecuse for WTC 1993. Was that a Bush inside job, too ??

  • Funny....

  • My niece went to Cuba and told me that most "normal" Cubans do not get any type of health care, the hospitals were falling apart, no medical equipment or drugs. In fact the hospital asked if the patient has relatives in US so they can send them medical supplies. This video is a propaganda piece and NOT THE TRUTH.

  • Duh...where have you been.I wonder why their hospitals are in bad shape and why they don't have the medicine. Let me refresh you with a little history..Since 1960 the US has put an economical blockade again the small little island. If it wasn't for that...you can answer that?

    I could go on...

  • If you believe the shit, you are extremely gullible and an absolute IDIOT!

    How naive!!!

  • Vote to impeach the president and his cronies!

    IMPEACHBUSH DOT ORG

    over 900000 signatures already!

    spread the word!

  • EVERYBODY!! Please watch this - the ULTIMATE and truly devastating clip about Bush's and Cheney's and Rumsfeld's WMD lies:

    watch?v=EYI7JXGqd0o

  • punkie, Bush cares about you. He'll stop some towelhead from sticking a loaded explosive up your asshole. Give the guy some props.

  • EVERYBODY!! Please watch this - the ULTIMATE and truly devastating clip about Bush's and Cheney's and Rumsfeld's WMD lies:

    watch?v=EYI7JXGqd0o

  • no more income tax!

  • The people need to stand up against the government and the corporations. The government should be afraid of the people. RISE UP!!! MAKE THEM FEAR US!

  • they should be!!! have you seen sicko? (its great by the way) but um, some important people in the government was paid by the insurance companies to keep their mouths shut about universal health care. how dumb they took the money

  • yeah, ive seen it. ive seen mostly all of mm's movies. watch "the big one" its really good

  • the big one... hm is that one by michael moore?

  • yeah, it was one of his first documentary's. made in 1997 i think. IMDB it

  • lol thanx ill check it out!

  • Sounds like the performance correlated perfectly with the severity of the problem:

    Cuba: broken leg

    Canada: hairline fracture

    US: sprain

  • well we know the european social medicine is not the answer for high medical costs. we need reform in the medical industry, but in no way shape or form do we need to get socialized health care. Europe has already proved that is a defunked system.

  • Cuba Should win, even with 40 years of embargo has a better sistem, $0.0 cost, is a human right, good job Fidel, with aut embargo probably CUBA could be the best place on the earth to live. congratulations, for a Cuba with out Embargo. please.

  • dude cuba beat us cuba a tiny third world communist contry beat us what the hell happined

  • Ha, America came third, now, that is poor.

  • $450 for a broken leg??? Jesus Christ!

  • actually no, a SPRAIN in the leg... the broken leg was in cuba and um, a fracture or something like that in canada... and a SPRAINed leg in the US.. this is just seriously dumb.. i had to get cavities and it costed me $700 and insurance only paid half.. $350 .. my cavities costed me the rest $350!!! ridiculous.

  • What about malpractice ? Try sueing the federal government for botching an operation after Katrina & 911. Good luck !!

  • More TV Nation on YouTube please, Mike!! Maybe you can find old Yuri, the ex-KGB spy and have him do covert ops on insurance companies... if he hasn't come into contact with Polonium recently!

  • Holy shit, first time Im happy to be a French citizen! I hate a lot of things over here but at least, my mom doesnt have to pay a single dime for her cancer treatment, and she had given birth to my lil sis for free, people with Aids are healed for free, I can go to the doctor as much as I need for free, emergency is complimentary, including the ambulance drive and get all the drugs for free, yup even vitamin C!! and even for illegal aliens, no one complaints

  • Master, france is loaded with muslims ready for terror and their all on the dole. Prime target for muslim terror---Eiffel Tower

  • no honey their prime target was the subway, we had bombs like 10 years ago.

  • I'm american, live in France. My wife is 5 months pregnant. How much are we going to pay? Nothing, zero, nada. 7 visits to the doctor and 6 blood tests? Nothing. What's more, we'll receive a thousand dollars to help us buy stuff like the cradle, clothes and diapers. France beats the US, Canada and Cuba.

  • rompeter, how much do you pay in taxes for communism ?

    what's the unemployment rate in france, like 28% ?

  • unemployment rate is like 15 or 20% I personaly dont pay any taxes cuz im an expat. but ur right french taxes are tremendous, the more u earn the more u pay, my dad is an expat too so he doesnt pay any taxes but if he was he would be paying 70%!!!!! the challenge for french new president is indeed to reduce taxes while keeping social security intact. as a matter of fact the countrys debt is huge, i mean its like 400 billlion or so and thats what the US spent on the Iraq war...

  • but its totally worth it!!! i mean, if you're making so much money... help others who need it!! and the medical system is perfect for that!

  • Same for you, don't post messages without knowing what u r talking about. Unemployment between 8 and 9%. Only really rich people pay 70% in taxes, but anyway, what's the difference for a rich to earn 20 rather than 30 millions a year? But that makes a big difference when you see less poverty in France than in the USA. I used to live in the LA area, and there's more people living in the streets in LA county than in France.

  • rompeter, france must be a great place to live. I saw those cars on fire last summer until Chirac caved to the same old stuff. No muslim problem there, huh ?

  • Were you here when that happened? So what do you know, you believe in all u see in television? I Know Fox News said it was a war, I was in Paris that week and saw nothing. U know how many people died in those riots? One. U know how many people die in the US from gun shots? Thousands per year. If I came to France is because it's very calm for a child to grow up here. U can walk in the streets of Paris at midnight, bet u can do the same in LA, DC or Detroit

  • rompeter, france's economic growth is less than half of the US which impedes anyone to climb the economic ladder, improve their lives and see a better future.

  • Yeah poor french who have a house a car a nice job, excellent social security, retirement, free education and can't see a better future. Guess what, here you don't have to climb any ladder to see private MDs, or go to college.

  • Totally agree, health is not a luxury, its a civil right. However, there might be less poverty in France but there is also less rich people in France than in the US. And rich French people are still less rich than the americans. Thats a fact, if u wanna make a lot of money, u do have to get out of France.

  • where in the constitution does it say that health is a civil right?? I do agee with the rest of your statement.

  • Don't talk without thinking or knowing. France is not a communist country, it's just that here, health is a right, french don't play with health, it's not a luxury item. Unemployment: 8%. And I pay less taxes than any american for health insurance

  • Only, Canada didn't win. Cuba did. Our media censored and changed the result because heaven forbid Cuba be shown as anything other the evil (hey, what's truth nowadays anyways?).

    To see Moore talk about the ACTUAL results search youtube for "Michael Moore on Countdown with Keith Olbermann"

    Plus, you should see SiCKO too = )

  • Great video: The Mayo clinic is the best in the World, but only a few have access to that kind of care. For 39 million unisured Americans, and perhaps more than 100 million, maybe 200 million underindured Americans with limited insurance, bankruptsy due to health costs remains a threat. Health care costs is the #1 reason why American's declare bankruptsy. If we reform our medical care system and perhaps pay higher taxes we can take away this threat faceing so many Americans!

  • Good video! Yeah, the health care Oligarchs (Pharmaceuticals, Insurance companies, AMA, lobbies) in the USA have a stronghold on one of our most essential services and have effectively driven up the cost of health care for everyone. That's capitalism. I really hope we survive the upcoming economic cataclysm

  • Michael Moore said Cuba won the competition but the TV network censored and change the outcome due to political pressure.

  • i thought america was a good place.. and people move here for freedom and all sorts of reasons.. i never thought the government would cheat its own people with the health care system and definately didnt think they'd lie and keep things away from the public!!! im not gonna live here when i grow up for sure. unless if they change their systems of running things
