SiCKO - Michael Moore, Coming Out June 29th, 2007

[The Shishpanik]

Anybody gonna see this movie? It looks interesting and a bit different than his regular films. I certainly will see it.

[CaliGuy]

I will.

[The Shishpanik]

Health Insurance sucks in the U.S.

[CaliGuy]

^^^Word...part of the reason I'm the f out a here in a few years (among many other reasons)

[Blk4drSI]

I have looked into this movie and I will see it because I see problems with our healthcare system too. But, I really hate that fat piece of shit as a person.

[dominodave]

I don't watch propaganda.

Healthcare prices is not the responsibility of the federal government. The U.S. Constitution states that the federal government is responsible for defending the country.

[Blk4drSI]

good point. I totally agree. I dont want to pay for someone elses medical bills. But at the same time, I am sure there are things to do to improve US healthcare. I think that the government should investigate some of the outpatient practices. Case in point; I have some problems with my shoulder from a weightlifting injury, I get referred to a place to have some sort of x-ray. It was going to be around 900 bucks out of pocket. Then, they said that if I came in and paid without going through my insurance, it would be around 750. Does that make any sense?

Michael Moore is a total piece of shit human being. I don't care to watch his films, and I cannot believe that any of his sorry excuses for films are EVER labelled as "documentaries". I think they need to be titled "2 hours of Michael Moore's twisted point of view, part X". Yes, I agree that there are problems with our heathcare system. NO, I don't think Michael Moore is qualified to speak on the subject, or any subject that he cares to open his fat mouth about. Burn in hell, you rotten traitor.

I think that line right there is the most reasonable thing I've read on this forum to date, +1 man.

"Burn in Hell, you rotten traitor". A little harsh, don't you think? If you disagree with what he has to say, you can simply say that you disagree; not that you wish death upon a man expressing his opinions (whether rightfully or wrongfully).

Honestly, what constitutes "defending the country"? That is such a broad term that can lead to many scopes of debate. For example, is it that much different to defend us from terrorists than it is to defend us from AIDS? Not trying to downplay your argument, just asking you to clarify.

If anyone thought wikipedia was inaccurate, why would they go to get the supposed "facts" from someone with such an obvious agenda as Michael Moore? Seems to me this is merely a case of folks wanting to get what they already believe reinforced with cheap sensationalism, not to mention hypocrisy.

No problem.

There are ways for individuals to protect themselves from HIV/AIDS like abstinence (that's a choice), and choosing uninfected partners. Individuals can't protect themselves from fundimentalist extremist muslims who have chosen to destroy the American way of life.

I do agree that this country has alot of problems one of which is it health care system. however, I would never spend money and endorse anything that this piece of crap makes. none of his "documentaries" have been non-biased. He has his own personal agenda at heart and makes sure everyone else knows about it. F him.

But honestly, it's entertainment. He makes movies and is an entertainer more than an informer. Even if you disagree with the movies themselves, they're still fun to watch. Everything you take in, of course, you have to take with a grain of salt. While he does have his own hidden agenda, he is still making a movie for people to watch. It's not a public service announcement, it's a multi-million budgeted production; and that's what people are failing to realize.

[The Shishpanik]

And even former critics of Michael Moore, such as Fox News, have said that this movie is "different" and "much more mature" than his other features. So you should read what is said before you assume it'll be bad based on the creator.

What about Cho-Seung Hui? He wasn't a muslim at all, and if you really look at it, you can consider his actions a form of terrorism. He felt like he died for a good cause, and he intended to harm these people because of a warped personal agenda. Also, what about the flu? That's something that's very difficult to defend from, and there are poorer people in America who die from the flu every year. Should it be the governments duty to protect "life", as in to cure the sick who can't afford medical care? Or is that a breach of constitutional limitations?

[mfinlay04]

This movie is about as big as a joke as Al Gore making a movie on Global Warming. When will this left wing liberal ever stop trying to make propaganda

There is no excuse to not get a job and afford healthcare. No one is held back anymore, so that cant be an excuse. I personally dont think that I should have to pay for someone else's healthcare. I work fulltime with a wife and 2 kids, I also go to college fulltime at night and I can afford healthcare. Basically, If you cant afford it, your just lazy. I pay enough taxes as it is.
