Re: CNN Gets Blitzed by Michael Moore

Michael Moore is a demigod and the ultimate capitalist. He has figured out a way to get rich by producing mediocre fiction that is shopped as documentaries. His "films" are unwatchable.

Moore is a buffoon. And is laughing all the way to the bank.

Re: CNN Gets Blitzed by Michael Moore

Moore is an idiot. I'll be damned if I support a system of 300 million people for healthcare. And of course, what's failed to be mentioned is the population out of the uninsured who opt not to have health insurance because they deem themselves healthy or they just don't want to pay into a community rating. The issue here is not to change the model of our system and completely reform it, but to actually start pummeling the HMO's for their strangulation on the system - and this is where it should start.

As for Gupta, it's a slap in the face - the guy is a neurosurgeon. This equates to an undergrad degree, 4 years of medical school, 1 year general surgery residency, 6-9 years neurosurgery residency (keep in mind working 80+ hours/week which breaks the maximum 80 hours/week regulation) and possibly a 2-3 year fellowship for specialization. He graduated from U of Michigan med school with a residency at the school's hospital as well - this in and of itself is no small feat as UofMichigan is one of the top med schools in the country. You really think many doctors of this caliber are willing to be wrapped up in a nice little socialist present? hell no, it doesn't work that way. Couple in high malpractice insurance and you've got a recipe for some really volatile physicians. Oh oh oh and that 10% medicare physician reimbursement cut that's proposed for 2008, gotta love that one. Let's just cut the amount of money that medicare will reimburse but keep malpractice premiums higghhhhh!

To add, Moore doesn't bring up the fact that pharmies also fund the New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet. In fact, many medical mags are sponsored by big pharma - it's how they make money.

This is as far as I'll go - I will pay for only a small amount of visits per year - routine checkup and some meds. Anything else, and you're on your own.

I'm so glad you get it.

2 bit hollywood hackjob.

I love it. When Michael Moore gets pounded with some cold hard facts, instead of debating the issues, his response is:

1) CNN is 'probably' funded by pharmaceutical companies.
2) That he (Michael Moore) doesn't talk in soundbites.

ALL OF HIS ARGUMENTS ARE SOUNDBITES! That's how he designs his propoganda. By cutting and pasting soundbites, soundbites that are taken out of context to further his agenda.

Fvcking lame-o. That's what you get from the Hollywood left though.

Re: CNN Gets Blitzed by Michael Moore

anyone see Michael Moore yesterday at the Jay Leno show?

they told him that hes gonna be investigated for those trips he took to Cuba, funny tho, that he took 3- 911 guys that have respiratory illnesses caused from breathing the air from ground zero, he took them to see if they could get health care cuz they were denied here in the US.

im not on the right or left, but damn, like Jay Leno said, you dont have to believe all the stuff michael moore puts on his films, but still if you believe half of whats in there, it should make you think a bit more about the issues.
