May 27, 2007, 2:50 p.m.I can't wait to check this flick out. It has been getting very favorable reviews, even from Fox News of all places.
Michael Moore just recently did his first interview in 2 years in regards to this movie with Bill Maher:

May 27, 2007, 5:16 p.m.I can hardly wait to see this movie in theaters. GW deserves to get the best health care this country has to offer. He should also have to pay for it the way most Americans do...with three months salary!

May 27, 2007, 5:37 p.m.America's health care system is badly broken. Looking forward to hearing all of the 08' presidential Candidates idea's on the issue.

May 27, 2007, 7:13 p.m.Conservative do not want you to know that many countries including Cuba have a better system. It's quite obvious but the neocons need a refresher course in intelligence before accepting what is.
Oh, the power of propaganda. A Republicans conservatives cup of tea.

May 27, 2007, 8:22 p.m.On a side note, did you hear what the POTUS said when that lady told him she was working 3 jobs..."uniquely American" Hello? And then he says that it's "fantastic"? Excuse me? Wow...

May 27, 2007, 11:18 p.m.I have great health care, I don't want some freakin' lib government officials to take that away and tell me I HAVE to take their hand outs. I would end up having much less coverage on everything than I now have, there would be so much red tape and paper work and a lot less good care than we have now. Good Dr's would leave in droves, they do NOT want to work for the government, they would be taking a huge pay cut and we wouldn't have as many young folks becomming Dr's to replace them. I do have some out of pocket expenses with my plan but it's a very small amount and I also have a good dental and eye-glass plan and many folks I know have similar plans, why would we want to give that up for your government "tax increase" plan? PS, I would rather snuggle up to my dogs than M.M.

May 27, 2007, 11:54 p.m.my husband has been at his job since 1999 and guess what? Their health plan sucks at a cost of $350.00 a payday then, now it is $450.00. We did not get it of course. Being retired military we have Tricare throught the gov and it sucks, always has. Hilary's failed healthcare plan was to charge active duty military for medical coverage and to open base hospitals to All civilians. My sister lives in Scotland where she has their universal health care and guess what? she has to wait almost 2-3 months if not longer for an appointment with her general physician, longer if its for a specialist.

May 27, 2007, 11:57 p.m.Why should I have to pay for illegial immigrants and other low lifes (on welfare who refuse to go get a job) get medical care? That is not fair to us. This is what drives the taxes and healthcare as a whole up.

May 28, 2007, 12:21 a.m.Fox news probably sponsored the movie because the rich cannot bear to think their coverage paid for by the poor is inadequate.
I guess the best coverage in the world will not save you from an understaffed, uncaring er.
Reagan began the ruination of the healthcare system. The wepucks answer to everything is to cut services to the poor. With time more cuts and services and increased costs.
Where will the Drs go if they leave here? Most have already fled their specialties and moved to plastic surgery or out of medicine.
We need socialized dental also.

May 28, 2007, 1:04 a.m.Michael Moore is a left wing Shill of the highest order.
His work, sensationalized documentary crap more akin to fiction than anything else.
This guy is a fat, greasy, unshaven stubble bum unworthy of any real discussion or debate.
His game is to try and feed a conspiracy disease and laugh all the way to the bank on created controversy.
*flush*

May 28, 2007, 8:19 a.m.I don't like using the word HERO, but in Michael's case I will because he does a great job in exposing the greed and power of big Govt and big business. Plus he's very entertaining to watch and listen to, surprisingly articulate and funny.
Sock it to them Mike!!!!
Can't wait to see the film too.

May 28, 2007, 8:28 a.m.A good start to changing the healthcare system in the US is to go after the insurance companies. Start with rounding up the CEO's and have a lynching party. That may get someone's attention.

May 28, 2007, 9 a.m.Saw Michael Moore on the Bill Mahre Show. He told Bill that when he made his film about the auto industry and was vilified, he was eventually found to have been right about the woes of that industry. When he filmed Columbine, he was also criticized by the gun industry but we still have school massacres because of the easy access to guns. And when he filmed Fahrenhit 911 he was roundedly denouced and look at the mess we have now. With Sicko, he's been receiving more favorable press than any of his other films and even Faux News has given it a good review.
Maybe Murdock's planning to get in on the health care scam like insurance and pharmacuetical companies?

May 28, 2007, 9:30 a.m.SICKO??? it's not MM's autoboighraphy???
fact is, we have the best healthcare in the world,
ya get what ya pay for.
the US has Canadiens coming down for treatment, in spite of nationalized care in Canada.
the US doesn't have national health care 'cause it don't work.
and don"t even get me started about CUBA, all the good cuban docs live in MIAMI.
just another little propaganda piece by an anti-american scumbag.

May 28, 2007, 11:15 a.m.I have a solution to the Health Care "Crisis"!!!
I propose a special tax on liberals in general, and Michael Moore's films specifically, with the proceeds being donated to provide health insurance for the poor people Moore cares so much about.
It would be nice if everyone had health insurance. But it would be nicer if those who whined about those who don't did something about it besides tearing down America.

May 28, 2007, 11:25 a.m.Tearing down America? The reason they have such a poor health care system and the reason a lot of other things suck here is because they sold out to big business.
The rights solution to the problem is always everyone buy their own. Well it is just unaffordable! The $20,000 -$50,000 a year employ can not afford to.
From a business viewpoint-the ones not contributing to the system are getting free and lots of people who can afford to buy their own are getting free. The ones providing the free service for everyone will soon die off and then where will the poor and the rich be?

May 28, 2007, 1:29 p.m.Guess I'll have to watch at least one film by MM. Though I feel we have good medical resources and able doctors and staff, it costs too much for many to be part of. This makes many go the 'free' way, thus raising the price for all that do pay into the system. I'd have no problem with it being Universal if I had any confidence in congress not to 'steal' from the fund or let lobbyists get involved.

May 28, 2007, 2:25 p.m.I lived in Canada for a few years when my husband got a contract for work, with benefits. It was wonderful! As luck would have it I had to have gall bladder surgery and it didn't cost us anything out of pocket. The quality of care was fantastic. This cost only 16.00 every two weeks from my husbands paycheck. There is something very wrong with this country and there is no dening it, the facts and figures don't lie. Can we blame any one president - no, but Bush was added to the problem.
