What part of society is Michael Moore annoyed about now?

 

[genocide roach]

the health care system

moore's movies are NOT documentaries. he doctors the info to push his opinion. he is biased, and he knows it. he doesnt pretend to cover that up.

so why would i watch a "documentary" which is completly biased? count me out!
~gR~

 

[Mr. Nekrophetamine]

The only good Moore documentary was his very first...

The only reason I'm interested in seeing this is because it's a topic you don't hear about nearly enough. It may be biased, but theres probably so little ground elsewhere for most viewers to be bothered by this.

 

[King Richard]

It's not as biased as you may think. Granted yes, he is trying to show everyone the extreme cases of the health system, and how people DO actually get fucked by it. But there's always another side to the story. How people do get the care they need. I suggest watching it just to expand your thoughts on the situation. You don't have to bite into it.

It's not just society in general as a world-wide issue. Only American society.

ive got a pretty good grasp on the health care industry. and let me tell ya somthing. moore wants national health care. and that is a BAD idea. being that i'm in the military, my health care is government run, and it fucking SUCKS! i'm sorry, but "take motrin" is not the cure for everything...

fuckin tricare...

I was in the same system you were bro. There's a HUGE difference between NHC and MILITARY health care. Military doctors and physicians are in the military for a reason, because they suck ass. However, if you are actually in need of aid and aren't getting it from your corpsman, then you need to go see your battalion surgeon or a higher ranking officer, or hell even your company commander. The fact that it is free does ease the tension a bit though.

but here is the thing, good doctors/surgeons cant have the government looking over their shoulder constantly. doctors need to be left to progress on their own. thats how medical breakthroughs happen. same thing for the Rx drug industry. though i agree the costs are too high, government control is not the answer. same goes for health insurance.

everything the government touches turns to shit. we need less government oversite, across the fucking board

The Air Force docs are pretty good.

 

[Hatebreeder]

I despise Moore's movies because he is in them. His intentions seem good, but he is terribly at conveying his ideas so that people take him seriously.

I disagree, I think doctors could have the freedom just as private practitioners get. Not to mention a nearly unlimited supply of funds. Canada seems to be doing just fine.

The problem isn't the government itself, it's select people IN the government who are out for blood, er I mean $$$$$$$$$$$.

The Air Force docs are pretty good.

Wouldn't know specifically about the Air Force. I do know well on part of the Marines, Army, and Navy. The navy being superior to the other two, but nothing spectacular.

Yeah, he's definitely no Quentin Tarantino.

I don't listen to music for the message.

 

[TalesOfTerror]

Not a big Moore fan but I think it was important this was made.
The US health care system is bullshit.
Fuck "breakthroughs" GR, half of all bankruptcies in this country are due to health care and half of THOSE are people who HAD health care at the time.
That said, Moore showboats too much (he's fat enough to BE a showboat) and they should have focussed more on solutions and actions and less on other countries.

 

[ohiogrinder]

Bowling For Columbine was a stupid movie. anyone who supports stricter gun control is an idiot. and a stupid hippie.

 

[Evil?]

Ohiogrinder, you are about as one dimensional as it gets.

Also, you suck at life.
