It's amazing isn't it? People fighting for the rights of large corporations over their fellow citizens. As if basic health care is somehow a priviledge. Talk about drinking the Kool Aid.

It's amazing how these companies schemes against the truth. Americans are so misinformed by the media.

It is so absurd that sounds like a conspiracy theory. But, unfortunately it is the truth.

As an American in Canada...the price is right. But good luck finding an MD or getting a test done...

I admit to having being duped into thinking Moore was "nothing but an entertainer" - and was theretofore, a simple lightweight on this complex topic of health care. I realize now that Micheal Moore actually understood the issues at hand, perhaps even understood how important Canadians felt about their health care system which, by the way is very strong. I am so glad to be a Canadian.

Because Khyron the companies themselves can choose who they want to cover. Healthy children are a good risk so they will sell you ins. if somebody will buy it for you; older people or those with "pre-existing conditions" find themselves un-insurable in the US for-profit system.

Because you had no money to steal. McDonalds sponsor childhood cancer clinics though their food causes childhood diabetes and cancer.

... you know what.. let me tell you something that is really weird.

When I was a illegal immigrant here in USA I was completely cover by Kaiser Permanente, because they had a program for kids that were born Outside the USA, my co-paymeny was only $5.

I did it to go to a psychiatrist and psycologist, and I will still pay only $5. If Kaiser Permanente gave me, a illegal immigrant, such a nice care, then why all americans be cover as well as I was?

[inspirediam]

I remember that just 10 years ago, I only had a $5 co pay...those days are gone...

[musclecarpower]

In the 27 years I have had insurance I used it once, I can remember 22 years ago not paying anything for insurance now I pay over $200.00 a week something has to change, I have not missed a days work in 22 years and I dont want a hand out I just want affordable health care.

Regime change Lieberman, his GOP Obama Pet Goat and all GOP-Dem-Likud Crime Family owned by insurance terrorists using our taxes to bomb Exxon, BP and ARCO's taxpaid oil targets in Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan. Let Hebrew Princess Lieberman go quickly back to Tel Aviv. Are those billionaire CEO's tall insurance office-buildings in Hartford, safe from a solid airline attack?
