June 29, 2007 journal, Sicko movie by Michael Moore premiere's today on our state of health care. The number one cause of bankruptcy and homelessness in this country is the over priced health care system. Doctors and hospitals are completely out of reach of the average working person and the insurance middleman is to blame for much of the waste and extravagance. Medicare and the insurance companies pay about 80 percent less than the individuals paying their own bill. Who would think this is fair? It is medical robbery. Michael's visit to the shore of the Guantanamo Bay prison was a daring move but he was going to Cuba anyway to compare and it was convenient to challenge Guantanamo Bay torture chamber to remind the audience it is still there being used on 'enemy combatants'. He made the point that those people were getting full medical care including dental while those suffering from fallout of the twin towers are not getting equal treatment. Actually, every prisoner is getting full medical care including dental in the United States, America. Dare to tell the truth & you get it from every direction because the American theocracy does not appreciate the challenge. We must face this dilemma that greed has created for us. Regardless of how they criticize Michael Moore, this is an excellent documentary. I agree with everything said. This film is an education every American needs to see/hear. Now I have seen it, I must say it is better than I ever would have imagined, a harvest of facts. It begins with the lobbyist paying the politicians, lobbyists for the pharmaceutical industry and lobbyist for the insurance industry. He begin the movie by showing all the people that have lost their homes without insurance but then states that is not what the movie is about, the movie is about those who have medical insurance but cannot collect medical expenses because the government is run by both the insurance companies and the pharmaceutical companies. The misinformation is corrected as to the faults of socialized medicine. I have said for years it is the only answer. America is buying their medicine's for years now from Canada and it is even cheaper in Mexico. What cost $80 in America cost 5¢ in Cuba. I can see the possibilities that this movie will bring this greedy medical profession down. Our own neighbors and friends in countries like Canada, Britain and France thought to be hopelessly in socialized medicine are actually enjoying the best of health care and longevity of life. We listened to the propaganda but never investigated the real situation until Michael Moore has done it for us. Some people in the audience watching the movie were in tears and I felt like crying myself because children are dying without simple health care that could be provided so easily except for the profiteers that has taken control of insurance and medicine. Every bill in Congress worsens the situation until now the pharmaceutical industry and the insurance industry control all public health. We are all 'Pawns in the Game' just like the book by William Guy Carr describes US-A. Michael Moore has been unduly criticized by this administration for showing a President dumb and foolish just like he is except that he did not go near far enough to describe the real story behind 9 eleven, that it was the brainchild of the Chainey gang of conspirators. Larry King had on Michael Moore tonight and helped establish that he is a real human being. He supported Ralph Nader politically and not Al Gore. He shows Hillary Clinton in the movie trying to establish a national health-care program in the 90s that miserably failed. This country will never have a decent and fair or safe health care system until the profiteers are taken out of it. I agree with everything said in the movie and I pray that this movie will change America. Everyone in America needs to see this documentary. I say it is the most important thing we can do to get the facts straight and to get really educated.
