  • I'm very sorry to hear about your situation and you'll be in all my friends and family's prayers...My issue is the Government telling me who I need to see when in fact I have the most unbelievable Dr. that just finished surgery on my lower back. Under Obama's plan I wouldn't have that choice and God help us that not all Dr. like mine are taking an early retirement because of the restraints they plan to hit them with...I feel America is falling apart because of big Government! God bless brother..

  • Ron Paul is the only true voice of reason,screw party lines!

  • Same deal as you, but my friend was from Canada. They wouldn't see him for months, when they did the cancer was really bad. They pretty much told him he was a done deal!. After he came to Amer. and Fred Hutch. he's now cancer free!...His words were "GOD BLESS AMERICA!!"...He wrote Obama a letter asking him not to change our system, just incase the cancer comes back!

  • @darrono

    I am a citizen in Canada, I am seventeen years old, and have just been recently diagnosed to have a brain tumor last week (I booked my doctors appointment a day previous, they did a scan and I got the results earlier this week), and I am due for my surgery in two weeks.

    Everyone can afford this healthcare system, and it does in fact work.

  • American liberals are absolutely clueless. Socialized health care would be a disaster. Even the uninsured Americans still have a decent chance of getting the most outstanding health care in the world. My friend who had cancer came over to America for treatment because the socialist British doctors told him to lay down and die. He doesn't have cancer anymore.

  • Sorry, but thats simply untrue- no patient in the british health care system that has a non-terminal condition is denied treatment based on costs. Moreover, private healthcare is available in Britain- if your friend could afford treatment in America, he could have had the same treatment privately here in Britain. Your argument is invalid.

  • Are you saying that you don't pay taxes for it?

  • Take an Obese Liberal to the gym this Saturday.

  • Stop Funding Terror, Stop Funding The Bush Administration.

  • and you shoudl walk ur fat ass away from the computer and get back to your wife beatin and tobaccer chewin

  • Michael Moore, can you please officially endorse Kucinich? He is the only Democrat running for president that was opposed to this war since day 1~

  • he did endorse him....a long time ago

  • No one can get thier opinions out in an effective way in the middle and lower classes even though we are a "democracy." It is nice to have someone stick up for others. I would take a Michael Moore movie anyday over the mindless crude humor Hollywood produces today. At least get America thinking about it's country. I think that also what Moore had to say in Sicko about other's health care was beneficial in opening up American's mind to other countries and other cultures.

  • Even if half of what

    Michael Moore says is fictional or not supported by the facts, or no matter how abnoxious he is trying to get his point across, I respect him because he has the balls to put his ideas out there, and in a very non violent way.

  • oh Michael Moore we know you don't know how to do laundry... He should keep supporting a political party that hides behind it's exploitation of the working class and hypocrites like Global Idiot Gore, Mrs. Clinton (Bill) and Mr. Billary. More unexplained deaths, illegal skeletons in their  closets, and dirty laundry that Moore "does" for them by hate propaganda against the Republican Party.

  • He's not just against the Republicans, silly. If you watched his movies, you would see that. He's against people working to hurt the human beings who make up the United States of America. Everyone involved in shunning human life in order to make a profit should watch out for Moore... but frankly, Moore is a prophet, imo.

  • hm.... im republican. and i wanna see sicko because i dont know who to side on for health care

  • Moore's style is to present whatever information he likes without checking it. He told "Entertainment Weekly" "absolutely not," when asked whether he felt any need to get the other side of the story. So, over time, his work rusts out from within as the facts eat away at it. He lied on Farenheit 62 times and Columbine. Yet people keep watching his movies. Amazing.

  • Have you read the facts on Sicko? You seem like the type to buy whatever bull your government is feeding you, whereas Moore is genuinly fearful that human beings in the states are dying due to money grubbers who love their wallets more than the truth.

    How's that?

  • Should a 500 lb man advise us on the evils of over-consumption? Should the resident of a million-dollar apartment claim to be a poster boy of the working class? Should a person who thought that Enron was a great investment, that Ralph Nader, Wesley Clark and John Kerry would win, and that North Korea's Kim Jong was changing for the better, advise us on anything?

  • Should a copy&paste kid be listened?

  • Your health care, paid for by someone else, is not a natural right...it is a "wish". The US does NOT have a free market health care system. 45 cents on the dollar spent on health care in the US is spent by the government. More importantly, the government heavily regulates and taxes health care. Single payer is a bad idea. The answer is get the government OUT. The real issue is helping the poor. We can do that without government involvement.

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

    Read this article.

  • Aa a Canadian let me tell you, FREE healthcare doesn't sound so free when your paying 50% percent income tax and 15% sales tax on everything you buy!

  • Americans pay a fortune for healthcare, too; our employers just deduct it from our salaries. (Any economist will tell you this.) Obviously, there's no "free lunch," but that doesn't mean we should be getting ripped off by insurance companies and leaving large portions of our society un-insured.

  • yet you'll NEVER have to sell that house or any of your kids to pay for "prexisting conditions"

  • Wanna post the bush links to bin ladens family? Or the tillman conspiracy? or the DA controversy? Or the illegal wiretapping? Or the illegal war? death of hundreds of thousands of iraqi men women and children? Oh why would you do that ? Those little rag heads aren't as special as the worthless speciens your "mighty" 2 inch "baby maker would/or have produce SIG HEIL MEIN FUHRER

  • dude your an idiot, if you think America is so damn bad get the fuck out, go to Canada if you think it is so great or France. You yourself can not change this world with all money sucking Documentries, stop complaining. Either Shutup and chill or get the fuck out of America.

  • at least he brought up something into attention.

    not everyone is as "SMART" as you dude.

  • Yeah, yeah, yeah, telling someone to "Just get out!", that's the EASY way to handle it, notthatguy56. ...hahahaha...If we spent more time learning how to deal with differences in our nation we could come up with a better solution to our problems, instead of the same damn old ones that have NEVER seemed to work...

  • wnice... the thoughtful comeback of a man with the IQ of a bag of cheetos.. impressive

  • thank you for blessing us with your plethora of knowledge

  • anytime dude... its not your fault.. you just gtta take a breather from the right wing radio.. you know germany had the equivalent b4 the war too :)

  • NotThatGuy56 - Why do you think that "liking your country" is accepting anything they feed you? Liking your country is being happy about things going good and demand changes for the things going bad.

    In fact, according to the american government, you're the perfect citizen, they like you man, they will give you a medal for letting them treat you whatever the way they feel like and still not say anything. Congrats.

  • MOORE / SATAN '08

  • he likes to be called lucifer dimwit.. read a book.. and no sponge bob square pants does not count

  • So if i read a book i would know that something that doesn't exsist has a nomenclature preferance? and if you don't like sponge bob you aren't american

    jerk

  • Fine! you can mastubate to squidly all you want... you might try some mark twaii, wole soyinka or doestovsky while you're at it...no?

  • Moore for pres! :D

  • you are a sad scared republican bitch.

  • Sounds like another well rounded, uneducated, democratic response there. Good one...

  • OMG I just realized if we swithc around the letter your name spells "big head" how appropriate? did your parents name you that?

  • Remember when the government controls an industry, scarce resources magically become infinite and the need to ration all of a sudden disappears.

    That is what Moore and socialists want the mindless drones to believe.

  • My sister (ex insurance agent)had to threaten lawsuit from her insurer to get coverage while battling cancer.Also had to pay premiums while unable to work.Denied Social Security benefits, and died!!

  • Well my doctor, whom I work for, is one fo the best in my state. His mother had cancer, and with their "free medical care system", they told him it would be 8 months to a year before she could have surgery. They had to go to the US to get her medical care.

    He also came to the US to go to Medical School. And now resides here as one of the best.

    There are stories on both sides of the matter "Whizkid"

  • interestingly when I lived in englan as a kis I can't remember 1 time I wasn't able to see the doctor. Even through broken bones, and two operations that my parents could in no way afford. Now in the US I sit and pray that my HMO will pay my next bill unlike last time

  • there are HUGE differences in England and America. what works with their smaller population and society doesn't necessarily mean it would work here. Our countries were founded on different Ideals. We wanted freedom to do what we want, meaning out government doesn't control our money and our health, among other things they don't control. We believe in self-reliance, and responsibility. Though I do think a revamp on our current system wouldn't hurt.

  • jrf: Democrats are simpletons. They like to isolate two variables. Find a correlation. Claim causation. While holding all other things equal!

  • actually the notice those who struggle, find that selfish repuglycans who not only won't help but erect block in their path, are the cause and try to expose it. Probably dont notice it cause you're too busy jacking of to your ron paul poster.."oh keep us the chosen one of god dear ron please! no niggers or chinks in MY neighborhood

  • Wow, a thoughtful post.. I 'm not advocting a complete mimic of the brit system. Any system has holes... the difference is that their people are at last assured o a costless good faith attempt at treatment. If they don't like what the civil service offers, they DO have suplimental insurance

  • Who was it that denied SS benefits? Oh yeah, the government. Let me tell you, they'll NEVER EVER EVER deny a health claim, either. No matter which way you slice it, the people lose.

  • TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS

    Bush Aide Blocked Report

    A surgeon general's report in 2006 that called on Americans to help tackle global health problems has been kept from the public by a Bush political appointee without any background or expertise in medicine or public health, chiefly because the report did not promote the administration's policy...

    (By Christopher Lee and Marc Kaufman, The Washington Post)

  • Micheal Moore is the man!!!

  • Republicans, please do the right thing and stop being stubborn!

  • Micheal moore sucks so much. all he's doing is being a little bitch about everything. life is unfair, wake up and get over it. the sooner people realize this, the better

  • you suck way more. people like you make me hate living life.

  • Hi! Please visit The Biggest Michael Moore Fansite!

    geocities dot com/moorefans

    Also check out my profile and

    feel free to watch my videos and post comments. Thanks.

  • haha he's such a sweetie. It almost makes me wish I was a Republican... almost...

  • ladyelgin1984 is right, but webcelt, your just being a dumbass. Parents work, make money, pay the insurance for them and their child. There are community hospitals also.

  • Borbawhack, thanks for letting me know I'm a dumbass. That changes my mind. Just like all the other name calling conservatives routinely engage in changes minds. Now start listening and stop assuming you know it all. You might learn something.

  • Don't listen to Webcelt. They are not willing to understand where we are coming from. Just ignore them.

  • I get where you're coming from. I just don't agree. The character limit won't allow a lengthy reply, so since I can't tell you all the ways this would put more money in your pocket, I'll cut to the chase and ask you to keep an open mind and look into it more, because single-payer would leave you with more money. You even get to keeping working and paying for it, you just won't pay as much. Plus, whatever value you place on knowing medical bills won't drive you to bankruptcy.

  • Everybody needs to quit asking for free health care. Work for it. We need to concentrate on making companies offer health care to their workers instead of making it free for people who don't want to work or care to. Nobody can help you unless you help yourself.

  • ladyelgin1984 is right. All those uninsured five year-olds should quit being so lazy and thinking someone else will take them the doctor. Get a job kid!

  • I don't think he/she is talking about children. If there is any free health care it should be for legal US children 18 and under, and life or death treatment for all legal or not..

  • Wow you must really hate children. The only "free health care" is no health care.

    I know what you meant to say, but be careful about what you are really saying.

  • Never said anything about children. I can say whatever I want. Webcelt is the one who mentioned children. There are exceptions to every rule and of course children would be one.

  • Thankyou, you get it. Why can't anyone else. People tend to blow things way out of proportion and have no idea what I truly mean. Thanks for having a brain.

  • Way to blow something out of proportion. I'm talking about adults who sit down all day and expect free health care. I know a few.

  • KUDOS!

  • don't "want " to work? Loike my neighbour who has lung disease from asbestos? Like my father in his 60's that no longer works? Oh who else is worthy of good health in this superemplyed utopia of yours my dear diaper head?

  • You don't think there are lazy people out there who take advantage of our government? You didn't see my comment on exceptions to every rule? Read before you write. If you can believe it, I am a very understanding person, but I know way too many people who don't try and that is who I am talking about.

  • ladyelgin1984, I'm going to go out a limb and assume that you aren't like the rich kids I grew up w/ whose parents bought them BMWs and paid for them to go to ivy league schools. Before you complain about lazy poor people read a little bit about who your govt works for; Dean Baker has a book on his website you can download for free; David Cay Johnston's Perfectly Legal is also worth reading. The real lazy people are the ones who want to repeal the estate tax.

  • check out this video!

  • i won't argue anymore people you need to take a deep look into yourself and think i'm i living a lie, is the world honest ? and if youre living a lie ,whose fault is ? it YOur fault

    everyone needs to grow an independ idea , don't EAT the soundBITEs of any media

  • Should a 400 lb man advise us on the evils of over-consumption? Should the resident of a million-dollar apartment claim to be a poster boy of the working class? Should a person who thought that Enron was a great investment, that Ralph Nader, Wesley Clark and John Kerry would win, and that North Korea's Kim Jong was changing for the better, advise us on anything

  • you're an idiot.. first of all he never ONE time spoke of over consumptio. You need to raise your head from worhipping fox to seek the truth. The man showed for 2hrs people who are in need and your best argument was his weight? How about your prez's low IQ or fake war? Sad thing is you're probably goig to die and idiot too huh?

  • therealtruthbetold .. Then why does QUALITY government provided health care WORK BEAUTIFULLY in the UK - France and Canada irregardless of your education or job status? Another American mind screw drummed into your head from birth "if it's free it will be substandard" - What sheep we are.

  • I sat thru a whole 5 day seminar on Canadas health care system. Canadian Doctors and Citizens regret very much the government take over of health care there in the 80's. It was a good thought, didn't work.

  • im canadian, and 100% of the people i know would strongly disagree with your comment. we all love our private healthcare.

  • Exactly you have PRIVATE health care

  • njchad probably made a mistake casadeBS....

  • im american and i see canadians in my doctors office (michigan)quite often.socialized med. is a failure if your ill

  • I am a REAL Canadian, and you're wrong therealtruthbetold. I love the Canadian Healthcare system... I don't know many Canadians that don't. Sure you have to wait longer for things that ARE NOT emergencies, but if something IS an emergency you'll be on that hospital bed within minutes(If not sooner.).

  • Well, thats a shame. Thanks for pointing that out and pushing your argument to another level.

  • I am voting for KUCINICH I am from West Tenn.I want Health Care in a Heartless place I live PHIL BRENSON took everyone off Tenn Care now people are dying all over the place even little kids !While he took a Trip to the MAYO Clinic and is going to go back 10 yrs on your parents for past DUE medical Bills ! He is SATAN !

  • Whizkid, could you not say things like that please? Did you know that some Americans think that all Iraqis are terrorists? That's not true, right? In the same way, many Americans disagree with the war. In fact, at this point, I believe that over half of the country does. We don't like our soldiers fighting you either. (If you want to post hateful comments, at least do it on a Republican video. Those are the fuckers who like war.)

  • You really think i meant to hate every Americans? It was meant to embarass Americans. Since americans are not doing enough to overthrow their government, they know 9/11 was an inside job, they know what their soldier did to those innocent Iraqi, but they didn't make a big fuss about it,

  • they rather worry about why US government did not take oil from Iraq to finance their operation in Iraq instead tax payers money or why their health care is so expensive, and i say they would kill every Iraq citizen just to get their car fuel up for free in the future. Americans are sick. They deserve this kind of humiliation...

  • "Throw rotten eggs at American fuckers, whenever you saw one...." this is hate, and it's directed at Americans (and it's grammatically incorrect: it should be "whenever you SEE one")

  • Did my grammar mistake really bother you so much? It even blinds you from the horrible things American Soldiers did in those videos? Get over it will ya? And you didn't get what i said in my previous post. I hope you can say some smarter things in your next reply...

  • I mentioned the grammar because I saw you post the VERY SAME COMMENT in other places as well.

    I agree that American soldiers did bad things. I think you are the ignorant one, because you didn't notice or respond to my comments.

    1) You don't need to say mean things about American citizens, we don't all support the war.

    2) "throw rotten eggs at American fuckers" is hateful. Don't lie and say it isn't.

    3) Don't change the subject. Take responsibility for what you said. I'm not "blind."

  • Is my statement "Throw rotten eggs at American fuckers" hateful compare to the behaviour of American soldiers to air strike 50 innocent Iraqi civilian? Whose to blame for keeping a Satan running the government? Iraqi? French? God?

  • Do you know the phrase "preaching to the choir?"  If not I'll explain it to you.

  • So you were saying, Americans can do whatever fucking shit they want, but they don't like being insulted...lol oh please! Stop kissing their ass, you are japs, try have some dignity. You are angry at my statement because you can't take the embarassment, simply because you are now American? lol...I'm sure your ancestor are really proud of you now...

  • "Preaching to the choir"? oh what is it? really, school me..., you should read the hate comment they sent me...If you have no interest in watching the videos, why the hell you add them to your favorites? Well, i must say you did adopted American's lying bad habits...

  • Seriously, was this "Throw rotten eggs at American fuckers" eye catching to you? Did it make you watch those videos and added them to your favorites? It was meant to create awareness, don't you see? Do you know how many views of those videos before? 1000+. If nobody watch it, the suffering of Iraqi people will remain untold to the rest of the world. Don't you agree?

    My statement was not fair to the Americans? Can you tell me what is fair?

  • In all honesty, it was eye-catching, but when I saw it I just thought "this guy's an idiot" and since I had no respect for you, I had no interest in watching your videos. You think that insulting someone is really gonna make them listen to you? I bet that most people watching this video are Americans, so we don't want to be insulted. Instead, try to inform people without verbal abuse.

  • So you were saying, Americans can do whatever fucking shit they want, but they don't like being insulted...lol oh please! Stop kissing their ass, you are japs, try have some dignity. You are angry at my statement because you can't take the embarassment, simply because you are now American? lol...I'm sure your ancestor are really proud of you now...

  • I can't talk to you. You are such an idiot. Why are you using racial slurs? Because you've run out of arguments? Get control of your running-wild emotions, child. I am American but I live in Japan, by the way.

  • "Preaching to the choir"? oh what is it? really, school me..., you should read the hate comment they sent me...If you have no interest in watching the videos, why the hell you add them to your favorites? Well, i must say you did adopted American's lying bad habits...

  • Yea, I watched the video but no thanks to you. That's funny that I have a favorite video the same as you, and you INSULT ME. "Preaching to the choir" means that you preach to (or insult) people who already are on your own side. People who would watch this video are probably against the Iraq war, because Michael Moore is as well.

  • Dude, it has been 7 years since 9/11, Bush should be celebrating his 7th aniversary in jail by now. Do you think what America did is ever forgivable? And you think i should be grateful to Americans whose already on our side now? What makes them so damn special? That's what they should have done a long time ago! They started the mess, they shall end it ASAP! Don't even try to expect a 'Thank you' from outside America...

  • I think Bush should be tried as a war criminal and suffer the same fate as Saddam, actually.

    I hope you'll listen to this explanation, but here's the thing. The US news stations are controlled by Republicans. And Americans don't know that, but they watch the news. So they believe bullshit about "we're freeing Iraq" and stuff. But if they knew the truth, they wouldn't stand by Bush. Most people don't approve of the war anyway. It's only about 33% who approve of the war.

  • I know...but people like Michael Moore have to stop drawing Americans attention on some other issues.

  • like their health... you're and idoit!

  • oehieze, you have gay videos in your favorite video list...fag!

  • if the government got out of healthcare, we could afford it. just look how cheap plastic surgery is now.  it does not have government involvement

  • Moore is a hero. It's that simple.

  • I have lived in the US, now I am in New Zealand, I tell you the healthcare here is great and personal. I wish the media would have given the same treatment given to M. Moore to Mr Bush and Co. Don't C-N-N when you really need them, they are out of my bookmarks bar right into the trash!

  • SWEET! I gotta find me a repub LOL

  • who would want mike to do their laundry for them and its ridiculous that your friend had to pay that much but if we fight about this we're just going to get into another civil war

  • Michael Moore is tellin' it, and I don't get why people see him as an enemy. A friend of mine needed a simple chest X-ray and was admitted to the hospital for the procedure. The cost? $400.00. Ridiculous.

  • I know that if I wanted to I could quit work, I would have free health care and Drugs and housing and I could still get to be Fat like you Mike. That is a fact. Hey every body, you will soon be all working part of your time to support me. Don't call I will be hanging at the beach. Oh, and you go to work I need your help to hang......Mike make them give "Moore" money to support me.

  • Everyone that I know who has to use public assistance (God forbid, someone should lose their job and need to feed their kids and use food stamps...oh my!)WORKS off ALL of their benefits...and they don't get a cushy job sitting behind a desk, it's usually a shitty job no one else wants, like picking up litter or working on the street dept.

  • That is the kind of childish comments, ignorant rant and inmature mentality that makes americans so stupid. Take a look beyond your own testicles and see that western europe has a higher life quality and longer life expectancy with a free health care. BTW, obesity is not a problem here as it is in the US

  • Mike, you're a great guy!

  • Come to my home and do my laundry so I can cut your fat ass stomach and watch the gummy bears and gravy pour out

  • Dont trust him he is a commie

  • a commie? who are you archie bunker?

  • LOL SNAP,....these guys truly are becoming an extinct species.

    Thanks for the laugh.

  • hahahha great!!! most ppl esp my republican friends think you're so anti american but it helps us to improve@

  • Health care NOW !

  • Get a good education, then get a good job, then you can have good health care. Free health care is equal to what you pay for. You buy something cheap or get it free, chances are it will be substandard, Peace out.

  • i know you work for the health insurance companies heartless pieace of earth .

  • Are you saying that, that is the way it should be? Isn't this the best country in the world? Why not have subsidized health care? Take away from the war budget, seems to always be money for war. What about the people? Not everyone can get the good education. Lots of smart people without proper credentials, can't get the good job with the great health care.

  • I do but I have COLON CANCER AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME I DONT QUALIFY FOR FREE ANYTHING ! I AM A DEAD 44 YEAR OLD WHITE WOMAN AFTER PAYING BCBS $7 grand For 17 Years ! And I have a EDUCATION I cant get a job sick !Will you help me ?

  • Government needs to regulate health care for folks like you. Ins. Co. shouldn't be able to take your money when your well then dump you when your sick. Oh by the way look into the Mayo Clinics , they are great for cancer patients!

  • therealtruthbetold .. Then why does QUALITY government provided health care WORK BEAUTIFULLY in the UK - France and Canada irregardless of your education or job status? Another American mind screw drummed into your head from birth "if it's free it will be substandard" - What sheep we are.

  • therealtruthbetold. Not to single you out, but I did find your comment interesting. So interesting that I'm going to read it and reply to it on my net radio show tonight. To be fair, if you wish to repond to my opinion of this, on the air, I could arrange it. Jay

  • I want the right to choose for private health care. I think that the government needs to regulate the insurance co. so that every American can afford health care, But keep it private. I have been treated in Military government run hospitals. It doesn't work well. As for Canada, it doesn't work there either, regardless of what MM says.

  • I see no reason not to have quality government health care, except for a broken government run by greedy incompetents. Why can't America be the shining model for quality health care when other countries have proven it can be done? And why is this black or white? We CAN have both, if we had the right people at the helm. Sadly, we don't. And that's the real issue.

  • Take a Criminal to See 'SiCKO'

  • We think you are the best!

  • Awesome!
