Michael Moore's comedy-drama Sicko presented a great deal of misinformation—too much to summarize in a short column. Besides, if anyone in the audience really believed that all Cubans receive superb health care when Mr. Moore's cameras are not running, there is not much I can say to help them. However, those who saw the film should at least be aware of some of the information that was left out. (Americans for Free Choice in Medicine, 08/28/07.)

The fact remains (and your linked article didn't mention this at all) that the heath care in America is 37th on the list of top healthcare. He also misconstrude the fact that the reason Moore took the people to Cuba was because they COULD NOT get the health care here, were getting the run-around and no diagnosis, or simply could not afford the price to pay for it. Not only that, but people that workers at ground zero should have had EVERY ILLNESS paid for that was related to the 9/11 attacks paid: no questions asked.
ReplyDeleteThere are two sides to every story but the fact remains that health care in America is sorely lacking. We are 37th on the list - and because there are REASONS we are that low.
