lewrockwell.com — Biased, unfair, hateful, venomous and anti-free-market is how I would describe Michael Moore’s latest propaganda film Sicko. When I first heard about Michael Moore’s intention to make a film on health-care in America, I was expecting a sequel for Supersize Me, considering his not so healthy lifestyle...

Michael Moore is highly respected as a documentary film maker; Aaron Russo is one who does. Moore is single-minded and socialist, without using or suggesting either in the films he makes, but uses the examples that would push the unthinking into agreeing with him. Just what Hillary would want. And just what Ron Paul needs to dispell by stating the facts about free-market alternatives where the govt is NOT involved.

What is wrong with you people? Yes, we need to shift to preventative lifestyles here, and eating better, but this attitude of "go take care of your own problems, I don't care" is VERY un-American.I?ve noticed something when people rant about how they don't want government involved in some national health insurance. You always hear something like:"I don't want THEM to do this...""I don't want THEM to be in charge of...""Look how THEY screwed up...."All are referring to the government when they use the word "them". Get my drift? It's always they, them, those people.The government is US. It is WE. It is OUR country, OUR society, OUR community.If we have national healthcare, it would be US helping those who need care, not the government. If you get sick and can't work, WE will TAKE CARE of you, so relax and get treatment. WE will take care of the bills.The government is just the mechanism that funnels money to pay for the doctors & hospital bills. It also acts as a STRONG negotiating power against the drug companies, representing 1 large pool of people...All Americans. If run well, this country would be amazing!!! So stop referring to the government as THEM.Can we elect more competent people who won't get seduced by corporate greed? Sure. Can we see to it that the next Katrina response is MUCH better? Yes. Can we improve on the current government processes? Yes and we need too. It doesn't however mean that all government involvement is bad. The government is a small percentage of people that is supposed to serve the rest of us. Sadly, we elect people who have conflicts of interest with personal investments, tendencies toward greed, power trips, and pride.When you watch Sicko, LISTEN CAREFULLY to what the Canadians, the French, and the English say. They don't say that the Government is taking care of them, they say "WE TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER!!!!!" The key word being ?we".Let that marinate on your noggins for a while.Did you know that GM pays $3,000 PER CAR they make for their employees healthcare. Imagine if they got to keep that and compete better, with healthcare provided by National Health Insurance. Think about how many small businesses lose out on hiring good employee candidates because they can't afford to provide basic health care benefits.Think about the 60 year old man who worked hard his whole life, who is so sick he has to quit his job, and loses his insurance because of quitting. The wife has to work overtime, they drain their life savings, and they sell their house, and they move in with their kids. End the end they file bankruptcy, ALL BECAUSE OF THE BILLS!!!!!!!I AM THE TYPE OF AMERICAN THAT WANTS TO TELL THAT MAN..."Sir, relax. Get the treatment you need. Stay home with your family and get better. Sadly if this will take your life, then end it with dignity and peace of mind knowing your family won?t be financially ruined. I along with my fellow Americas will take care of your medical bills. BECAUSE IN AMERICA, WE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU!!!!"That's the kind of Americans I want to share this country with, NOT the "I got my health insurance, so f**k you" people!!!Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

The real problem with health care in America is fascism. The FDA, USDA, and EPA do favors to companies that seek to destroy our health. The FDA is currently seeking to make it illegal to trade for natural medicine. Governments also fund many of the existing medical schools ensuring their health propaganda gets promoted. Most states have banned raw milk which is far superior to the nutrient deficient pasteurized milk. ( See <a class="user" href="http://realmilk.com">http://realmilk.com</a> and <a class="user" href="http://westonaprice.org">http://westonaprice.org</a> ) The FDA has made it illegal to sell supplements of the natural cancer cure vitamin b17, also known as laetrile. ( See <a class="user" href="http://www.worldwithoutcancer.org.uk/">http://www.worldwithoutcancer.org.uk/</a> ).Michael Moore's Solution to Health Reform: Socialized Medicine, Government EducationRashad's Solution to Health Reform: Eliminate the FDA , Get rid of farm subsidies ( health depends on what you eat), Stop allowing companies like Monsanto to patent genetically engineered products, Get rid of the Federal Reserve and return to the gold standard (with sound money prices will fall), Eliminate medical fascism, Get rid of public education (at all levels including university)
